Weather
It was a windy day with gust in the 60 mph. Sky cover was mostly clear for the second day in a row, with temperatures reaching mid 20’s.
Snowpack
Wind loading was confined to the upper ~20' below the cornice on lee slopes. In other areas, the wind was stripping the old snow. In areas near the edge of the newly formed windslab, failure initiation is possible. However, the slab at these areas is not capabole of propagatin a crack and break within 1-2' from the skies. I did not observed any signs of instability.
