Toured into tunnel creek hut and lapped sunnyside. Surprised by the extent of wind transported snow - our tracks were being covered each lap, especially in the lee. Stayed away from the alpine and saw the development of what will probably become a significant wind slab. Heard some hollow drum sounds. Evidence of small wet loose slides on the way out at lower elevations.
