Crux of the day was the creek crossing. No snow bridges left that we found. 2-3 m wide open water which we barely managed to jump. The Dog Leg has slid with the recent mid week snow fall but did not run the full length. Both avalanches on the photo shows they had released from the upper summit rock bands. We had ski deep powder on a day with single digit negative temperatures on top of super hard crust. Sounds like we were on the edge of the snow belt as the min report for the Robertson traverse party from the same day reports amazing skiing!
