General Observations
Stayed in the Worthington Glacier flats area- 1-2′ of soft snow with a supportable crust with complete sugar underneath the crust. Probably 3-4′ total snow depth depending on where we probed. Significant wind loading from south winds coming through the Thompson Pass gap. We triggered a couple small wind slab test slopes with our machines, which prompted us to stay off anything larger that had active wind loading. Couple of larger natural avalanches (D2+) spotted, first peak on the right up the Tsaina Valley, south west facing.
