Toured up Delphine creek to the Delphine View FSR. Both FSRs are not suitable for vehicles right now. Lots of fresh snow. Temps fairly warm up to 1850m, Very nice turns on the way down with healthy supportive deep snow, but we triggered some small loose wet sluffs and pinwheeling on the 20cm surface snow above another harder layer. On the way back, on the flats, we felt some seriously large propogated settling and whumpfing (None on the slopes however).
