Skied in the Stanley Mitchell hut area after bailing on the Bow-Yoho due to poor avy conditions. Stayed on south facing slopes where there is a strong supportable crust layer under the 30+cm of new snow from this week. Wumphing was felt occasionally and a few small pockets were noted to have slid in the trees. Large slides were observed across the valley in the alpine. We stayed to mellow slopes in the trees. Low angle pow provided good riding.
