We were doing some flight training in the LL area yesterday.
There has been extensive avalanche activity everywhere. The Plain
of Six trail is snow covered beyond the end of the lake. There are a
number of deposits across the trail including a very large one that obliterates
the trail where it crosses the quartzite ledges (cable handrails). This
one may not melt out before July. One avalanche running down from Popes/Unamed
gully ran down to within 200 meters of the Teahouse area. The crevasses
in the Death Trap are well filled but the big schrund is starting to open.
There is still significant potential for climax spring avalanches on these
trails and any trails at similar elevations. On Monday, many routes at
the Back of the Lake were dry but there was still
snow at the base of most of the routes.
