The day was very windy at ridgeline, wind were from the South and SE with lots of snow transport. The wind slabs on the trek up to Baldy rocks were quite large and deep. South aspects had a lot of cross loading with lots of wind slabs in open areas. There was a brief clearing period but not enough to change the snow which remained dry. Snow has stiffened and is a lot more slabby than on Saturday. We saw no signs of any recent avalanche activity.
