Tried to head up to Bow Hut. Noticed s1-3 slab avalanches on all aspects. Significant wind transport as well as cohesion in the storm slab. Low vis and still stormy. Used test slope btl and triggered s1 with large propagation. Slide propagated 50m from original trigger point with a 50-80cm crown. Now would be a good time to go climbing :)
