Skinned up the ridge towards Reynold's Peak this morning and were able to easily trigger multiple long running sluffs. Went down the lower angle shoulder skiers left of east face and noticed that the snow was slabbing up compared to earlier in the day. Skied Weathering Heights in our way out and noticed longer running cracks in smaller rollovers.
