We skiied <30 above beadnell lake. Our line skiied well. There were many scoured areas and many deep pockets of +30cm on the sled up + skin up. We observed one avalanche above the small lake above beadnell lake. We stayed away from very steep/large convexes but noted many sleds and TS going up them with no results.. March sun - even the hour we got - is hot! We moved quickly under south slopes to get back to our tracked motor vessels.
