The best riding to be found is at TL and below. The ALP got pillaged from it's remaining soft snow by the recent Northerly winds.

Avalanche

Released 2x sz 1 windslabs coming down from North Terminal Peak in immediate lee of recents Mod-Strong Northerly winds on W asp. First slab(attached picture) was skier controlled, 40 deg short convex roll, although it remotely triggered below the snowboarder track. We avoided the suspect rolls on the uptrack after cracking and whumphing was observed. The South face was free of WS hazard although it showed evidence of a recent sz 1.5 in steep SW facing terrain. The second slab was accidentally released skiing down on the right side of Perley Rock. No involvement.
