Observations

Traveled from Commonwealth basin to Cocaine couloir on Lundin. Found mostly stable conditions. Around 40/50 feet from top of couloir we started to experience lots of cracking at the corners of skin tracks and turned around. They were failing on a layer around 12" deep. This was around 5,600ft.

Saw small natural loose dry avalanches trigger in the morning, and larger lose wet trigger naturally after 11am.
