We skinned up Pulpit 3, rode the south face down to Pulpit 4 and skinned up then rode the Pulpit 4 pillows. Southern aspect of Pulpit 3 was becoming very sun-affected former powder becoming quite wet and heavy. We noted a sun crust starting to form on the southeast face of Pulpit 3 at treeline. Pulpit 4 east facing pillows were in much better condition with light powder not getting heavier from sun exposure. (Sorry if these details aren't what you're looking for, 1st MIN)
