We had some of the touchiest conditions of the season today. Skiing any steeper section of slope initiated a wet slide that would gain speed and more snow, running up to size 2. We skied West Ymir. We saw one larger natural avalanche (size 2) and multiple skier-triggered avalanches with surprisingly large debris.
