Quick report

Weather
warm, sunny

Toured up Whymper north this morning. The track in was crusty. Turned to slush on the way out. The main run was wind affected the whole way up with a 3-5cm crust. The cornice at the Col was large but was easy to navigate around on the skiers right. The cornices on the peak to the lookers right were large and well overhung. We waited until around 1pm to let the the sun to give the snow some love. Overall descent snow on the way down. Minor slugging and grabby in spots. There is a lot of wind affect and old rubble from the side slopes.
