We spent 2 nights in Jumbo Cabin. We were lapping on south aspect open slope behind hut at 21/04 - the snow was nice before 12 pm. Then snow started to be wet and crusted. We made a snowpit on 2350 sunny faced slope showing 10m of fresh snow and three weak layers below (around 30m, 50m, 70m). Snow was sugery below the last weak layer. On 22/04, we ski down from the hut on east facing treed slopes - snow were completely crushed. #keepjumbowild
