Late to posting this but we rode Sinclair on Saturday. Sunny day. Rain crust from the previous cycle up to the top, at least 1800m. Lots of wind affect. Observed recent avalanche activity of the east aspect terrain leading to the lake. See photos. Appears as a cornice/wind load failure onto the slopes below, triggering further avalanche on shallow snowpack.
