Avalanche Conditions

15cm new snow with range of 5-35cm. Snow quality was amazing. We stayed on low angle slopes; no avalanche terrain. Minor signs of instability on the uptrack. Nothing downhill. Nice to be out but would have loved more turns! Avalanche Risk is too high; expect it was High out there since there was more snow than predicted for the Considerable rating.

Weather

Light wind. Little transport.

Snowpack

5-35cm on top of hard wind pack. 3-4 minor instabilities on the uptrack. Avoided avalanche terrain, skiing low angled slopes without any avalanche risk or observations. A beautiful day.
