Observation: Douglas Island
Location: Below Bunny Toe Pass
Went up Fish Creek Knob trail to below Bunny Toe Pass for companion rescue training. Snow in the morning had a light fresh layer of snow that was increasing throughout the day. The southern facing terrain where we were had developed a thin crust from Thursday, underneath the thin layer of fresh snow. Snow felt solid, so significant signs of instability.
Weather
Snow surface
a few centimetres of new snow on top of a light sun crust layer on SW facing terrain. Some wind effect seen in very isolated areas. Large cornices observed on NE peaks and ridges on Ben Stewart.
