Skied around the Spearhead Traverse today. Ideal conditions. The alpine
North East to West sides stayed cool.

South exposures got heated a bit. Some point releases and later a thin crust
formed.

Trail breaking was 15-25cm but ridge tops are scoured.

Saw lots of mid storm/end of storm avalanche activity to Sz 3 on all aspects
and mostly low in the Alpine.

I assessed the hazard in the alpine as Moderate on north aspects, but I was
reluctant to ski bigger features due to the amount of recent snow and
evidence of past avalanche activity. South aspects hazard went Considerable
during the mid day heat.
