We rode nice corn in the Fraser Chutes yesterday. Fun times. The riding quality was excellent, but the snowpack is definitely thinning out. The south-facing aspects of Fraser Ridge are almost totally baked out and have had some huge wet slides recently. The slopes to the looker's right of the south couloir, heading back toward the chutes, hadn't slid by end of day yesterday and were still holding a lot of snow, so we didn't expose our group to them. Big Kahuna has also had several sizable recent slides and the whole face was littered with debris (it looked worse in person than the attached pics suggest). We also came across some bear tracks, so be mindful out there! The pics should give a sense of the state of the zone.
