Conway/Foley Area

Tried to Conway peak but travel was super slow due to technical terrain, thin snowpack and dense alders. Snow was skiable above treeline, but good luck getting there. Snowline was at 900m and snowpack was ~60-80cm @ 1500m.

Sunny morning on Mount Daly

<p>Solo trip to mount Daly. Cloudy morning and sunny afternoon forecast with a descent freezing level made it a perfect day for that. Left the car at 6:30 from about 1km up Paleface FSR. Skins on after 10 minutes of walking. Creeks are opening up at low elevation. Lots of debris from loose wet and pinwheeling from rocks and cornices. Mostly size 1 and 2-3 size two loose wet. No slab avalanches seen despite lot of big debris. Snow was hard with a stubborn somewhat breakable crust in the morning up high. Was warming up fast around 11. Snow was softening in the alpine at that time, I imagine pin wheeling and natural loose wet were starting to be around the corner, but the crust was still very solid on N aspect and W-SW aspect. Below 1600m snow was rapidly becoming wet and unconsolidated, ski penetration around 5-10 cm and foot around 30-50cm.</p>

Cheam crust

<p>Snow starts at 800 m on the access road to Cheam/Lady and it is a long way to hit the trailhead. Above the meadows it was breakable crust on all aspects we traveled on. Turned around at 2000 m due to whiteout. Skiing was terrible, and best turns were had below 1800 m on the logging road. Watch out for the bond to crust with the incoming snow. </p>

Quick tour up Flora

<p>Quick solo tour up to about 1700m. Start seeing signs of stiff windslabs once in the tree line at that elevation, decided to stop amd turn around, dug a quick pit to confirm my decision. Mostly crusty, sun and wind affected. Sheltered area above 1500m had great snow. Skin for 1km from the lot, off for 1km and back on for the rest. Skied down to 900-1000m with carefull bushwack skiing. No signs of instability, lots of pin wheeling all over the open face from snow falling from rocks and trees in the previous day.</p>

Chwk River Valley

<p>Observed widespread whumphing and collapses between 1500-1800m, N-NW aspect. 50cm slab overlying a 15cm thick pencil hard rain crust failed easily in a resistant planar fashion to a variety of tests. Solar aspects heavily affected / crusted. Minimal wind effect observed. Skiing on sheltered + shaded features was excellent.</p>

Flora Peak

<p>Ascended Flora Peak via the S/SW ridge yesterday. We observed quite a bit of instability due to the rising temperatures and sun. The large open bowl on the south aspect was especially affected with numerous wet loose activities and continuous pinwheeling across major portions of the slope. We stuck to the ridge entirely to avoid it. Wherever we crossed onto the north side we found deeper unconsolidated snow.</p>
