General Observations

Skiied up Trims Creek to the cirque with a party of four.  Observed natural slides on W facing aspects, whumphing on N facing aspects and a 8″ windslab on top of 6″ of facets on top of a 2nd buried slab on S facing aspects.  The top windslab failed at CT 1, did not bother to do an ECT.  Warning signs as far as the eye could see, so we toured around the cirque up to Trims Glacier and then skiied back to the car.  Also the Trims Creek is a few days away from melting out…we had to detour high above the creek in a couple spots to avoid open water
