the summer floatplane landing on the Upper Burnie Lake. It is an E
facing steep 800 m line that requires skiing a deeply incised gully in
the lower part. The upper part are steep rolls underneath the rock faces
of Lakehead Peak.
The snowpack is mostly well settled. There has been some very low
density snow that continues to be very slippery underfoot and could be a
problematic layer once buried. Otherwise, we are concerned about cornice
falls and rather large and fast sluffs in the steep terrain we have been
skiing.
Today it snowed in the high alpine only and there was quite a bit of
wind transport from the ESE. Several large icefalls did not trigger
slabs, but cleaned out the slopes below nonetheless.
The snow continues to provide very good skiing in all shaded aspects
while direct sun exposed areas have a crust.
