General Observations
Sketchy snow!
Skiied into the lower Canwell Glacier area. Dug a pit on a SW facing, 42 degree slope. Extensive whumphing in flats and on slope. Shooting cracks. At kick turns in the skin track, top layer of snow (20cm) came popping off every time. The snow from a week ago is being blown all over the place and seems poorly bonded to the older snow. Some medium to large avalanches seen on both South and North facing slopes at multiple elevations.
