Skied all 3 of Hospital gullies today. No signs of instabilities in gully 1 and 2. Gully 3 had steeper rolls and had some sloughing. Also possibly saw a small crown triggered by the previous group over a steep unsupported convex feature. Hand sheer test on the uptrack had irregular breaks easy to moderate down 30 and 50. Also failed down 70 - but the block fell apart probably on facets. Mostly cloudy day with some snow in the AM with winds blowing along the valley bottom.
