Approached the North Arm Hills via McKenzie’s Road. 30-50 CM of new snow, that hasn’t been too affected by the wind, at lower elevations. At higher elevations, Ridgetop and Alpine features showed evidence of strong winds, with heavy loading on S-E facing slopes. We had some consistent results in our Compression Tests. Easy to Moderate, on a crust buried at variable depths, South-East aspects. Our tests for propagation had no results. We observed one natural avalanche, Size 1, likely from a cornice failure. See if you can find it in the photos!
