- <p>When we got to Twin Lakes Pass we were amazed at the size of pillows and cornices. They were very difficult to see because of the lack of visibility but were very obvious when probing with a pole. I could not get close enough to try a cornice drop as three guys were skinning right up the gut off a major terrain trap at the site of a fatality in 2004. In summary: major loading was taking place this morning.</p>
