Good from far, but far from good

Beautiful sunny day in the Bull river today... Unfortunately we didn't get above the crust from the last few days of warm weather so the riding was hard crust to breakable crust. We found 50 cm of snow at 1600 m at our high point with a heavily facetted lower snowpack. We saw several wet loose avalanches from the previous days sun. Some of them went to ground because of how shallow and facetted the snowpack is in this area. No new avalanches today though. No wind, clear skies in the morning and increasing cloud this afternoon.
