Overall spectacular skiing in Days Fork. Cornices were noticeable on the ridgeline separating Cardiff Fork and Days Fork (Reed and Benson ridge.). We chose to descend well out of the cornice danger. Loose sluffs are certainly a possibility as we triggered some very small sluffs on our decent. Wind drifted snow is something to avoid as well.

- <p>Saw obvious signs of wind scouring on NE facing slopes. At 9100 ft noticed a bit of wind drifting that caused us to alter our approach, terrain trap also played into this decision. Not much transport with the winds today in Days Draw. </p>
