Up Kristi Glacier Trail doing an AST2 course. Stayed pretty close to the road and didn't detour into anything too challenging. Cloudy day with little to no wind and stayed below freezing. No signs of recent avalanche activity or instability observed. Snowpack is roughly 65cm with noticeable crusts at 15cm and 30cm. Extended column test showed no concerns in the snowpack but was conducted on flat ground in the shade below tree line @1250m.
