Skied Mt Tszil From Joffre LK TH. Near and above treeline most surfaces were wind affected but generally soft. Found less significant wind effect than compared to Blackcomb sidecountry.
Snowpack
On N-NW above 2000m- Hand sheers were moderate, planar, somewhat rough/RP down 10cm on 3/10 DF. Did not find SH at 3/10 interface.
Avalanche
Natural cornice triggered wind slab. In cross-loaded, unsupported terrain. Likely ran midday 3/11.
