Good day in the sun - plenty of local skiers in all the avy fans, we could also see tracks up Whymper = great day for people to enjoy approx 4" of fresh snow on a crusty old sunbaked rock solid foundation. Uptracks were good, but towards the top they got tougher due to icy crust under the dust of snow. Evidence of small releases up higher in some of the avy fans, plenty of debris. Lots of great lines were skied out today, the stability was excellent. A few whumps on rollovers, nothing that propogated.
