Comments

Headed up the drainage between Cirque and Observation subpeak and got a few turns in on the low angle slopes on the south aspect of subpeak.

Ski cut some cornices overhanging a small gully on the south aspect of the subpeak which didn't trigger any slabs. Saw debris from a size 2 on the north aspect of Cirque which looked a few days old, hard to tell with the recent winds. Appeared to be triggered by a cornice.

Lots of variable snow conditions on the north aspect of Cirque, wind affected from recent high winds. Evidence of wind affect on the south aspect of the subpeak as well but pretty good coverage on the lower angle slopes.
