Quick report

Spotted a crown in the NNE bowl of Taylor, apparent cornice fall trigger with large propagation. Also good view of the glide crack on Taylor. No other instabilities noticed. Snow surfaces above 9000 ft exposed to wind forming a bit of wind board. Slopes cooked by the sun yesterday had sun crust covered by a few inches of freshly blown in snow
