Route & General Observations

Entered skookum valley just after 5 pm and the south wall entrance of valley on its north face had a crown all the way across it. Must have been over a mile long. Looked like all storm snow but it ran to the valley floor.

On the opposite side of valley, we saw these and realized they also happened recently. They also weren't there when we went up Skookum 2 days ago
