Lots of collapsing on east through south to southwest-facing slopes. Some openings even collapsed on the second trip up the skin track. No long-running surface cracks. We did not travel on larger northerly-facing slopes.

Overcast to obscured skies with light snow. It was a COLD northeast wind, but not blowing as hard as in the Purcell Trench.
