Access to steep creek is okay, the ski out is a little thin in the trees. a bit of an alder tunnel on the road above the blowdown turn off. good coverage from the lake upwards.

We observed two, possibly three, avalanches over on the slide paths on the north side of duffey lake, looked like cross loaded wind slabs aprox sz1. No activity observed up steep creek. We did hear some whumphing at 1900 on the dome and see some shooting cracks on switchbacks.
