Skinned from 7th up to Disease Ridge. Throughout the day we noticed an increase in temperature, with S facing slopes getting heavier though the day. We primarily skied the slope next to the first rock garden as it was shaded and stayed dryer and lighter snow. Our group also intentionally dropped 3 small cornices part way up the ridge, with no avi's triggered on the slopes below. Mini-fridge sized chunks did make it most of the way down the slope. We did notice a few cracks forming along some cornices, and we stayed away from those.
