Snowpack

Numerous soft/muffled collapses on shady aspects with cracks typically radiating 20 feet. One collapse was notably louder, not sure how far it radiated. These were all on the January facets below thin crusts, 60 cm deep.

Avalanche

Numerous roof avalanches around Mt. CB. Visibility was too poor to see much avalanche terrain. The few small avalanche slopes that we looked at remained intact.
