I summited Circle Awll Peak Saturday and saw zero snow concerns there.

Once on the summit I had a great view of Broads Twins and could see a couple of decent sized avys. A large avalanche was between Blue Ice and The Diving Board that looked to have ran earlier last week. A couple of smaller releases could be seen to have ran likely later on and appeared fresher. A more recent release could be seen closer to Bonkers off of the large cliff bands adjacent to and/or on the Diving Board.

Regarding snow condition, around 4 inches of new snow was on and just below Circle Awl. Otherwise, the snow was solid in the morning and pretty wet by early afternoon.
