Poor vis. for much of the traverse as it snowed throughout the day (S -1, HST 10cm). HS 300+cm on French Glacier. Bootpacked up final slope, which had MFCr down 5-15cm, unreactive and variable. Cornice at the top of Robertson-Sir Douglas Col was dropped on skiers left, but we descended skiers right, finding just 1 hole which was easily avoidable. No new recent avalanches to report from our trip. A fantastic traverse with beautiful views!
