| Its spring time- we can expect glide cracks to full depth. |
 |
| and also in spring on sun exposed slopes we can expect full depth avalanches, this one almost reaching this piste. |
 |
| Excessive amounts of snow, poor visibility and high winds with heavy drifting and the formation of wind slab prevented us from going much higher above the hut so by 9,30 pm we heading back down to the road side. |
