Comments

Crossed the West side of Dolomite slopes early in the morning to avoid warming. There was evidence of debris in the slide path tracks, but it was not recent. Saw pin wheels releasing from shallow rocks on upper south west slopes in the afternoon. Evidence of significant wind transport, forming a large cornice on South side of Cirque Peak. On the back (north east) Dolomite Peak, observed evidence of 2+ slide that we suspect may have been cornice fall triggered. Snow felt slow and sluggish still (or maybe it was just my legs haha).
