Hit the south side of east peak. Summit was very wind affected from south/south westerly winds. Wanted a quick day so hit south side. North side looks like it had mild-mod winds slab. It was hit by some sledders at about 2100m with no signs of avalanche. Snow was better on north side than south side, often 10-16cm of powder on north side.

Above 2200m south side was very wind affected with hard snow and very little penetration by skis. Below 2200m we found good skiing and ~10cm of powder. Really fun. Few sharks were hit. No signs at all of instability on our run. Steepest section was about 35-40 degrees.
