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.
