Published: Apr 14th, 2025Long walk on the Bonney Glacier
Early approach up Loop Brook and through the trees was pretty technical skinning with the freeze/thaw cycle in full effect. Elephant Trunk still goes, but definitely requires a boot pack on the way up.
The moraines were all untracked and still held nice snow, but were definitely starting to warm up by 10am. We pushed straight onto the glacier and put in a track, stopping just short of the head, at the crossover to Greens glacier. Lowest probe strike on the way up was 260, but most were over 320. Decided to drop the Bonney side due to strong solar on all the Ross Peak slide paths. Saw at least 4-5 size 2’s come down from the extreme terrain overhead of the Greens exit, which is completely full of debris.
Rode fall line down into the Bonney North exit. We dropped in at 12:30 and the snow was still blower up high, transitioning into warmer pow around 2100m and spring conditions down through the pillows, all super fun riding. No signs of instability on North faces today.
Most solars above the creek have slid full path, some even reaching a couple feet away from the high access route on the bench above the Elephant Trunk.

Nice day for young travers. +15cm of New Snow on top of solid hard surface. Now signs for instability. little sluffy sz1 in steeper terrain. Only in lower sections (<1800m) snow turned immediately from firn to isothermal snowpack.... A lot of big wet loose avalanches from the last circle but nothing new; 1 wind slab size 2.5 in the west faces east of I.Neve. Overall awesome day with the Austrian crew :)

Its probably a sneaky surface hoar layer, sheltered in the NE pockets.. sneaky as in it is not everywhere, is not triggered naturally and is waiting.

Bruins Glacer Size 2.5
Skied Video North earlier in the day in good conditions with not much wind loading. Got complacent on North facing aspects later in the day attempting to ski an extra bit of the Bruins glacier before returning to 8812 bowl.

Nice day out with good vibes for ok skiing with very bad visibility in the alpine. Isothermal snow with a little layer of fresh snow on top. Some decent turns up high when visibility is good or your friends go first but it turned into heavy and sticky snow real quick. Lots of pin wheels were released when we traversed on a sidehill on the decent. Skied on a mellow north decent.

Published: Apr 6th, 2025Young’s traverse
Had a lovely time on my umpteeth young’s traverse. Quite icy low down, I used my ski crampons for a bit, but lots of people just struggled up. They were quite useful in some places, but I’m not sure if the extra effort was worth it. Snow turned wintery again once up on the glacier. The final skin up to the ridge is decent, thanks to the sucker who punched a new one today. Boot packing or ski crampons not required. We submitted around 1pm, and skied powder on the headwall, followed by wind affected and crust on the lower 7steps. Snow was slushy on the surface below the tree triangle all the way to the parking lot. Got back to the car by 220pm. I think we timed it fairly well, would not have wanted to be out much later. A variety of wet slides were seen on west and south aspect, of varying age. Heard, but did not see rockfalls.
