We skied SE slopes up to 38' above Marion Lake. The new snow was primarily made up of graupel. No signs of instability observed. Snowpack had high friction, and no propagation was observed in our tests, or in pits dug by other parties on similar slopes.

We skied across the slope. It is a very small slope that could slide, but it is above a terrain trap. This area is regularly traveled by people who are not prepared for avalanches.
