Powdery N face conditions. The trick is getting there. Slide debris found on all aspects and some cornice failure visible. Ridge top winds were strong. Access through forest was what is should be this time of year. Some bare spots on Lussier fsr.

HS was a little less as I found some avi debris lower down in my profile. I wasn’t concerned with anything below that. CTM14 down 35 on prominent crust. Made for supportive boot packing. No signs of instabilities today, just some dry loose sluff management on descent.
