Skied from Diamond Head parking lot (skis on at 1260m) to Garibaldi Glacier on day 1 (May 28, first 2 pics). Snow very wet, lots of recent loose wet avalanches. On day 2 we followed the Neve traverse on very firm snow (early morning) that progressively turned into 1m of dry snow (not wind loading) at ~2200m on the N side of Garibaldi. Heavy on the way out in the afternoon via Brohm Ridge.
