Moderate to strong winds from the SE, snowing S1 to S2 most of the day, We did not cover much ground. See full profile attached. There are about 25 people camped and sled/skiing at the pass here. I asked around and nobody reported any avalanche activity. There were some reports of cracking on northerly aspects due to windslab formation. It seems the cornices are not as big as they usually are, and there are conrnices on S sides of ridges due to reverse loading.
