No snow until about 1900m, so snow line is climbing. Snow in the alpine was wet crust, but we were getting blasted by high wind and new snow which stuck to the crust inconsistently in different areas. Bluebird by the time we returned to the valley, so likely no accumulation and no real windslab built up. Cornices still large, and encountered a spot where someone fully fell through a cornice, but luckily did not go all the way through.
