Quick report

Climbed via Worm Flows from 930am, crater ridge at 230p. Ski down at 4p. No signs of instability even though there are quite obvious wind loading features everywhere. Skiing down was pleasant in upper elevations, and heavy snow in lower elevations (that replaced breakable crust from the morning). Sun in the mornings, stormy clouds and whiteout in afternoon with some breaking of sun. 1/4 inch new snow at most.

Avalanche

Wet loose D1 mostly on west facing slopes and under cornices.
