Spent four days camping and skiing around Mt. Thor and Mt. Hughes. Mostly walked around, exploring a new area, skiing in the trees and the alpine. We had dry snow on North and NE aspects down to 1300m until yesterday when it warmed up quite a bit more, heavier wet snow around 1500m. Loose wet avalanches on most South and West aspects at treeline and below up to size 2. We noticed a small wind pocket release on a NE aspect in the alpine on Friday. Small surface hoar was building on sheltered N aspects at treeline and below.
