Had an idea that less snow may have fallen with the recent storm around Boom
Lake and that the Boom to Chickadee traverse may be reasonable. Close but no
cigar.
Approximately 20 cms new snow so the new slab avalanches on the moraines were
thin and the only places that had not slid were where we wanted to travel.
Vicious suncrust already, even on Boom lake and the south facing terrain would
be nasty-so much for dust on crust skiing. Nice day so more suncrust and
surface hoar in production.
