We toured up to the low angle glades below Perley Rock. A layer of heavy storm snow was present on a lighter layer which was on the facet layer. Observed whumphing and settling on the steeper drop-off below the ridge was skinned up, on the south aspect. Observed another group trigger a size 1 on a steeper, south facing slope below them while on the descent. We lapped the low angle open glades back towards the uptrack.
