Winds and fresh snow throughout the day continued to load north and east aspects. We noticed small debris paths under some cornices. Exposed, SW aspects had a breakable, 3cm crust . We had decent riding on protected, low-angle, W aspects. Minor cracking at 6000ft just before ridge on exposed, SW aspect. Cracking occured on dense, 3cm wind crust. Dry loose of small concern on 30°, NE aspect into CM bowl. A little collapsing on ridge above 6500 ft.
