Skied with an AST course from Mountain Addicts guiding through lost boys pass most of the way up Mammoth’s Head after 31 cm fell at FAR. Snow was initially well bonded and not slabby. In the afternoon after some sun had hit the west facing slope of mammoth’s head immediately below lost boys pass, we witnessed numerous class 1-1.5 wet loose avalanches on that sun facing slope and one class 2 wet loose that slid just after we left. (Mountain Addicts offers great AST courses https://mountainaddicts.ca/)

Avalanche

Several wet loose avalanches witness on the west slope of Mammoth’s head - the first slope you encounter descending from lost boy’s pass. One avalanche as well off the lost boy’s lookout hill. All on sunny slopes.
