<p>No sign of recent activity (since the weekend storm) except a few small cornice falls and some dry sluffs.</p>

There is around 12' of snow on the ground around Tony Grove Lake. Huge and dangerous overhanging cornices are found on the upper elevation ridges.

There has been quite a bit of settlement of the new snow in recent days...Settlement helps to stabalize the snow.

The low elevation snow is still layered, and there are some loose (weak) layers....

<p>We stayed out from under and well away from the huge building cornices on Cornice Ridge and Naomi Peak.</p>

Nice powder conditions, especially in shady terrain.  Wind affected in exposed terrain and sun affected on slopes facing south half of compass
