Observations

I was pleasantly surprised to see relatively stable conditions along the way of the Tusk O Granite to Granite Mountain Traverse on Saturday. A snowshoe crew used Pratt Lake trail to summit, traverse from West Granite to Granite then descend Granite Mountain Trail. We skied off the saddle of Granite then down to Granite Mountain Trail.

No avalanches were triggered and I didn't see a single field of debris. The summit cornices along Tusk O Granite ridge are impressive though.
