Went over to break a small cornice and as I popped over saw a group of 11 skiers coming up a suspect slope. With heavy winds from the south and west, this east aspect was suspect for cross loading. Surprisingly this group was coming up the slope when Twin Lakes Pass was right next door. As we advanced up the ridge we can see fresh tracks down before Heaven's Gate. Lots of signs of wind loading with pillowing and cornices.
