Anniversary glacier skied great today, boot top pow+ for most of the way down back to the creek. Lots of good north facing snow left in the area. Birthday chute was hilariously bad, multiple layers of breakable crust with avy debris between the layers, small wind slab at the top too that was released on a ski cut (size 0.5). North facing slopes are faring better than west. Today was warm but alpine temps were still in the negatives all day. We saw no new evidence of wet slides, point releases or cornice failure. Hardest part of the day was the ski out ?‍?
