Skied whymper east face. Btl was fast travel , strong melt freeze crust . Evident Cycle from recent warmup/windslab. Wet loose and wind slab debris in majority of paths.

North Col was decent travel until the top where it was hard slab(not reactive). Cornice is big but fairly supportive at the Col. on the ridge lookers right the cornices are massive and very overhung.

Dust on Crust from summit until 1900 meter where it softened up and was good corn skiing. Lots of debris and gouging lower down and in the track.

Multiple parties. One up the x, one on north Col and one behind us on east !
