Mount Callaghan

Alpine approach conditions: Drove to ~900m on S900, west facing FSR up Squam Valley, but was just a few patches of snow between that and when the road ended ~ 1050m. Forest above that was mostly 30/70 snow/dirt but a nice overnight freeze made for quick travel booting. Snow on the down was skiable to ~ 1200m in the forest, but on the way up due to the deadfall/steep icy slopes we boot packed to about 1350 before starting skinning. Travel above that was fast, glaciers were well filled and the Callaghan summit block was an easy scramble. The spring ski down was great!

No overnight freeze and everything was loose

No overnight freeze Thursday night so even over 2000m, things were ready to move. Slow, but heavy. Even gentler slopes were happy to shed the top few centimetres If you waited to led those slide out, the snow below skied decently, actually

Current

Columnar Fresh Wet Loose Observed

We skiied the East face of Columnar around 16:00. On our way up we observed some size 0.5 sluffs/cornice failure (we didnt see the initiation but observed the actual slide). We skiied around some old avalanche debris going down the East face of Columnar. When we reached the previously observed sluffs/cornice failires, we saw 1 or 2 more size 2 wet loose slides. We suspect these were skiier triggered by another party. We had to ski/traverse a little lower as a result. The snow on the return journey was very wet and heavy and travel on flatter sections was hard.
