We hiked up below Perley Rock through the moraines (thanks to the group ahead of us for setting the skin track and cleaning the corners 😊). Snow was heavy and soft going up. The snow for the first 100m down Perley Rock was soft and light. There was a thin crust for 100m afterwards and then it turned back to soft snow. The snow got heavier as we skied down. There were signs of a big wet slab on skiers right. No sign of instabilities except at the top of Perley Rock. There was a sign of a wind slab forming.
