No signs of recent avalanche activity in this valley or on MacDonald W Shoulder paths.
In the alpine the south and west aspects have seen some past wind effect and there were areas of crust. Today strong winds from the north on the mountain tops and highest ridges reversed the normal loading pattern at the highest elevations. At treeline we just had light winds.
All the regular lines big and small were getting skied. And some not so regular lines. Lots of tracks and I bet there were close to two score of skiers in the Connaught zones today.
Reports of good skiing on Video Peak. We had good turns off Balu even with skinny skis and having clacked our way up there with Alpine Trekkers. "Better than Quebec".
Talked on the radio with guides who were in the Dome Col area. No conditions report from that area though.
