Quick Observation

Skied some low angle slopes at the head of the valley @TL after digging some holes around 2000m and found a CTM11 down 96 that was repeatable. We performed a PST 60/100 END on the same facet layer down 96. As we skied out we saw a couple large sloughs out of unskiable terrain on mt whymper and some tracks dangerously close to them. No recent signs of slab avalanches but one of the chickadee slide paths had gone full path a few days prior as there was snow in the debris. The wind was picking up when we left around 4pm and it was snowing S-1.
