Comments
Observed wind slabs in N chute on Cirque forepeak and one whumpf. The ridge to Observation subpeak had cornices and loaded pokets at immediate lee. One wind slab broke off about 30m deep and 3 meter long but didn't slide. In lower alpine over convex roll triggered size 1.5ish remotely by ski cut (broke off 5 m below me) 50cm deep vert soft storm slab on very hard sun crust. Ran about 50m in a gully.
