Saw several sluffs on steep NE facing slopes as we went back towards room of doom, too far away to evaluate. Do not know the timing but they looked recent and I don't think have been reported. Room of Doom was absolutely wind scoured from apron up. We transitioned at the mine and skied an assortment of not very fun surfaces. Several wet releases off the rocks on the west facing aspect.
