Lipalian Mountain + Purple Mound, March 5 2022. Went up these summits near LL ski resort today, unsure of the new avalanche problem so we avoided steep solar slopes until we learn a bit more about it. A fine day to be up high, mostly bluebird, warm enough without being hot, wind was reasonable, saw no blowing snow anywhere. Found no signs of instabilities where we traveled. Snow quality was good to great, although my ski line was sharky, almost caused a forest fire with all the sparks. Lots of photos inside of objectives near and far away, have a look.
