Good coverage on the Cirque N Glacier with 185cm of snow. One new natural windslab 15m x 30m x 30cms observed on a SE aspect at 2500m. Winds were light in the morning then blowing steady in the moderate to strong range at noon from the north west at ridgetop. The glacier remained fairly sheltered and had limited wind effect at the end of the day with good skiing. The couloir off cirque peak currently requires ~10m of facetted down climbing if using a 60m rope.
