The first slope greater than 30 degrees that our group encountered on the approach to the Peyto Hut slid to the ground (SS-AS-R2-D1). Rapid warming after a snowy and cloudy morning made for lots of natural avalanches in the mountains surrounding Peyto Lake. Significant whumpfing and sudden collapses were experienced on flat terrain throughout the day.
