Quick report
NW-N winds had already stripped most of the snow from the west or leeward aspect by 10am. Northwest wind continued moving small leftover amounts of snow but slabs were still soft, small and not reactive during my travel along the ridge kicking cornices.
Fresh cornices hanging over were breaking as expected with a ski kick. Cracks stayed beneath skis and did not shoot out. Some snow that had been transported onto steep slick solar crusts and shaded NE crusts could not bond.Weather
