Snow was good up top and not tracked out. Once we got below treeline, conditions worsened, and old tracks made for unpredictable sections and thin coverage. No sharks for us!

Witnessed a roughly size 1 natural avalanche release from the Eastern aspect above Ogden Bench. One of the faces wasted what was likely accumulated snow from the night before. A party below us was close to the path, but was not affected.
