Our observations agreed with the considerable forecast yesterday 4/18. We saw a lot of rollerball activity, multiple collapsed cornices, quite a bit of slides. Corn was lovely where not affected by avalanche debris. We were happy we made conservative decisions, even adding a bit of mileage/vert to avoid spending time beneath cornices. Cornices and steep slopes were heavily sun affected, SW slopes had lots of sloughing. Also worth noting we didn’t see any open crevasses, a very small bergschrund we skied over, likely to change as warming continues
