First time climbing Ben Lomond. Climbed and skied the East Shoulder. One party skied the main line down the North East Face.

- Instability Comment
- <p>There was very little wind effect to the most recent 4 to 8 inches even all the way to top of Ben Lomond. Some newer drifts were sensitive though but soft and no propagation observed. Broke off very small soft slabs on a small cornice or two. Watched a fit do an ECT Test. Appeared to have result in the new snow around 20 but no propagation. </p> <p>New snow has very light in most places. Got denser in sun exposed slops through the day. Some sloughs and point releases on the steeper areas of Ben Lomond were noticed. </p>
