Warming

Solar input triggered small cornice collapse while booting up fat maid that ran by our group, but did not trigger anything from its impact on the slope. We saw many wet avalanches both small and large, mostly loose, but one slab that came down the south east face of Bole after skiing the pinner. Due to this information we chose not to ascend the south facing gully that follows the ridge north of Bole and ski the north couloir into Alex Lowe basin. On the north aspects we found punchy, difficult, wind affected snow from the most recent storm. It was cold, dry snow, completely un-reactive in our tests, but hooky challenging skiing.
