well formed and fat throughout. I climbed the CPC (far right) falls and
the Middle Falls during a course. I cut and broke a trail to the Far
Right which is a pleasant 120 m grade III. The Middle Falls are quite
steep this year. The ice is still hard and brittle from the deep freeze.
We observed several size 2 natural avalanches over and beside the Right
Falls within one hour of wind starting to transport snow aloft. There
was no recent activity on the Left Falls, but I saw a significant
fracture line about 800 m above it. Both those lines and also the Left
of Left are prone to natural avalanches right now and I recommend to
leave them alone until things stabilize thoroughly.
