Weather
Wind died down, although it was still transporting snow from the North.
Snowpack
The snow pack on St Mary's glacier seems pretty cohesive, above that on the plateau there was a couple of inches of fresh snow that was collapsing (angles do not allow it to move). There was continous skiing from the summit to the road today. Light windblown snow at the top and corn on the glacier.
Avalanche
There was a sizeable crown wall on one of the East facing couloirs. Probably the last few days. Wet slide and cornice collapse debris littered the slopes above St Mary's lake.
