Lest we forget! Happy remembrance day. Observed several natural size 0.5-1 dry loose coming down the North facing chutes/cliffs off of Cheops as we approached Balu. Then observed a natural size 2 dry loose coming down STS, terminating about 1/2way down the path. Called it a day after that. Wet and heavy down low, changing to drier and colder pow around 1700m. Winds were calm then picked up around 11am. Variable in direction. Variable snow accum, S1-S3 rounds throughout the day. PS. Stop peeing on the skintrack!! Ya filthy animals.
