Toured up to Pump Peak. Found the surface snow wet, breakable crust with FP to mid calf, SP to lower boot. Impossible to ski.

Avalanche

Difficult to evaluate slab width at start zone because it was just out of sight but it did appear to come down growing from 2 to 5 m by the bottom of the run out.
