Skied Trorey NE face. North/NE aspects had lovely fluffy powder, 20 to 25 cm deep. South aspects were in rough shape with breakable crust and icy spots. There was evidence of wind loading at ridgelines. Cornices are burly in places. A group of two triggered a small point release loose dry slough in steep terrain heading up to the col north of Mount Pattison (no involvement, W aspect). The NE ridge of Trorey had a suspicious wind slab bulge and we boot packed the standard route up the SE ridge. Minimal slab development where we dropped in, though we avoided the convex roll nearer the summit.
