60% sky cover, calm wind, temp 05C. Sun was in and out, clouds rolled in from the south by 0900.

Snowpack

Supportable crust at 0700, allready getting soft. Occasionally punched through to knees on skiis and more so in boots. Skiied down at 0900 on nice corn, occasionally sinking to ankles.

Avalanche

Area known as Mine dumps (East face of the bowl) had a large overhanging cornice, which had collapsed in multiple places, probably in the last week, some blocks as big as 1M cubed. See picture.
