Variable snow. From wind slab to pow. Sheltered areas had decent snow, open trees had either wind slab or wind effected snow. Small pocket of wind slab popped near lost boys pass on the way to the Mammoth Head skin track. Stayed away from heavily wind effected areas.

Avalanche

Small pocket not of any harm as it was a small slope but could be possible to trigger larger slabs in wind loaded areas. 15cm deep 5 m wide, slab was 1F- that slid on another wind slab which was 5 cm deep. Relatively easy to trigger if you try.
