Day started with wet weather in the parking lot for Tunnel. Rain crust was significant until the hut, slowly started to reduce at higher elevations, but was scoured by wind above. Still experienced some crust all the way to top ridge above sunny side in protected areas. We also heard one slide on a slope to the south, we could not see it as the clouds were quite low.
