Rogers pass conditions: 20cm of wet surface snow is reactive. Numerous Na loose wet avalanches to size 2 coming off Rogers Col, Swiss couloirs and the steep terrain surround these lines throughout the day. Three small wet slabs (20cm deep) were pulled. All Na activity witnessed was in steep solar. Walking off we were easily triggering small wet loose sluffs, which would be a problem if in terrain traps. Still feels quite wintery. Tupper W Ridge was in great shape. We walked up Lone Pine, which is nearing the end of its season. Avoided it on the descent due to avalanche concerns.
