We were looking to ski the seagull chute off Tusarora peak. Snow on the skin up (all east and windloaded) was cohesive with the layers from Sunday when we were in the area. Sometimes it would sluff sometimes on the skin, nothing alarming. Descended the first 20' and the windloaded snow started to sluff good. The cornice had a small release. We decided not to go any further and skiied Upper Mary Chutes. That also had some serious sluffing. All aspects are N to E. This was at 4pm.
