Skied from the Callaghan Lake Snowshuttle drop off point across the lake to ski the north face of Telemagique. Incredible sheltered powder all the way to alpine with no major signs of instability. Topped out at 1650m where we started noticing wind effect. Still 40cms of powder!

Snowpack

Still 40cms of powder up the Callaghan. The fresh snow seems to be bonding to the hard layer below.

Avalanche

Saw what appeared to be a day old wind slab / mini cornice release on a convex roll. Hard to see but is in the center of photo 1.
