Weather

Mostly sunny, winds decreasing as the morning went on.

Snowpack

W winds had been blowing a soft windslab onto the E face above TL. No reaction to skinning/jumping. Seemed to be bonding to a stiff sun crust underneath. Sun crust developing on E aspects near and below TL on the newest snow. Snow in silver couloir was wind affected with signs of a N wind (wavy surface and punchy). Encountered some wind board half way down the gully. Older ski tracks from 2/10 were filled in to the point of obscurity.

Avalanche

None observed.
