Skied Mt Gordon from the road, up the Bow Hut approach. Overall coverage is good throughout, with very good bridging on the glacier. Very sunny, though the wind took the edge off; there was a hard crust varying from 5cm thick to greater covered by 5-10cm of new snow. On descent we noted several new wet and dry loose avalanches including in the canyon; likely triggered by solar input.
