Dawn patrol to Disease and Decker. Ski pen variable in alpine from 5-15 on most slopes with soft to medium hard slabs to 40cm just under ridge features above 2000m. Small skier remote on wind feature east asp with crown to 15cm pictured. Soft slab to 15cm running 120m on NE asp of disease from ski cut on crust. SW asp skied very well at dirst but solar effect evident by 1030. Auspect SW slopes to be primed for first cycle by noon on steeper S asp. Some pinwheeling already by 1045. N asp skied well with minimal sluffing below 2200m even on some convexities. Soft slab to 35cm thick beneath cornices. Cornice tabs looking quite fragile.
