Quick Observation
Went to attempt the spearheaded as plan A, or some laps in on the Tremor glacier as plan B, with a nice dusting of fresh snow. Cutting the skintrack out of Blackcomb glacier the sun was out and the snow was feeling good. Traversing circle Lake we set of a couple micro windslabs and did hear some small 'woofs'. Taking caution heading up decker we noticed very variable snow depth and quality. 2-15cm of snow on hard pack or blue ice. I approached the crest at the top of the decker glacier and my partner stayed clear 50+ away and observed. I set off a bomb shell woof that my partner felt under their feet as well. I slowly backed down out skin trak and we transitioned. Our plan was to head to the base of the Tremor glacier for a lap, as clouds were rolling in aggressively. Skiing down past Decker lake I fell into a huge hole in the rocks that the new snow had concealed. At this point we took all the signs and decided to hike back to decker and do 1 more lap down beside our previous skin track. Was not the day we hoped for but still go some blind powder skiing in so no complaints! Definitely not spring skiing like the previous couple weeks.
