AST-1 course at Seymour to Mystery Peak

Ast1 course climbing Mt. Seymour to Mystery peak. We observed whumpfing sounds, shooting cracks everywhere and intentionally triggered multiple small avalanches. Observed one small natural avalanche. Inverted snowpack with ~30cm fresh snow over 5-10cm facet weak layer. Compression test on 30x30cm colum: top layer collapsed after 2-3 tabs, clear cut.

We easily triggered small storm slab avelances in mellow terrain at the side of the skin tracks including remote trigger of 2m. A (very) small natural storm slab avalanche (4x4 foot) was visible between resort run and skin tracks.

Inverted snowpack with ~30cm fresh snow wet over 5-10cm facet weak layer from same storm snow before temperature rose. Compression test on 30x30cm colum: top layer collapsed after 2-3 tabs with clear cut.
