Stadium Glacier
South Coast:

Observation
We skied up to stadium glacier and did a few laps through the left gully, the trees near the up track, Moranes left (#6 on Eric Certer's map), and Home Run. On the uptrack at about 1500m, a hand shear on a 40-degree NE-facing feature gave resistant but planar results down 40cm on a crust.

Goat Ridge Whumpfing Observed
South Coast:
Sky Pilot,

Observation
Snowshoeing goat ridge we observed significant whumpfing in multiple locations. On spot seems to have propagated over 40 feet between two snowshoers where both heard it simultaneously. No cracks or other signs of instability on the surface.
Goat Ridge
South Coast:
Sky Pilot,
1 week ago
Observation
Variable conditions on the north facing couloirs off Goat Ridge. The road in from the gondy was death by a thousand alders and just as many creek crossings. The snow in the couloirs was icy refrozen sun crust with a few pockets of chalky wind affected slab. Would I recommend it to anyone?
