Had a nice day in the Pyramid N side. The wind slabs we noticed were isolated to specific features and not widespread on the N slopes we traveled. We did see large cornices on some ridgetops. There were also recent cornice-triggered large slides (size 2-3+) that steeped down to deeper layers, likely old crusts/remnants of persistent layers. No wet loose or shedding observed while we were out. Light winds and cool enough temperatures throughout the day with some flurries. We found settled powder good for steep skiing in the N amphitheatre of Pyramid, which we skied from the summit down to about 4600' before climbing back to the approach route. Skiable snowline is roughly 4000' in the Pyramid lake area.
Avalanche
Small shallow windslabs were triggered around 5000', N aspect, while traversing. These were probably formed by E wind earlier in the week.
