Tons of new snow up Mulligan. Didn't venture over to Anif due to the avy conditions. Skied the mellow west slope of Mulligan and by the end of the day it was pretty tracked out. Heard a few whumpfs but no other signs of instabilities. Vis wasn't great so we were unable to see any evidence of slides down the Anif chutes, but given the recent dump it wouldn't surprise me. Lots of snowmobile traffic on the trail up. The road up to the trailhead needs chains from the turnoff on Mamquam FSR. Do not try it without. Put them on before you need them, or park early and do some extra hiking/skinning/sledding. Within 500m of the first turnoff there were 4 vehicles that tried and got stuck, blocking the road and holding everyone else up.
