Observations
As expected the typical avalanche chutes had slid due to the warm, sunny weather. there was a slide in a location that i had never seen slide before in a probable stream gully. carried quite a lot of snow from high above. we crossed this one but stopped at the next big slide as we knew it was going to get warmer as the day went on.
