Quick report

Sunny spring day with winds building sw. A weak refreeze made for decent skiing but by 10am we were already seeking out the shadiest aspects and noticing small surface instabilities on steep solar aspects. One large cornice failure was observed which likely happened earlier this week as well as a small crown on a steep roll in NE terrain off the summit of little round top.
