No whumpfing or cracking - prob’ly cause it was so damn rock solid all the way around. A few moments gave us pause to put on ski crampons (got my money’s worth of use today), take slopes one at a time in several spot to manage risk, despite no observations of activity. Glad viz was excellent. Descent down cirque was wretched firm. Despite apparently stable slopes, I wouldn’t repeat for a very long time/ many snow cycles. Saw no other tracks past Dolomite turnoff.

Weather

Sunny day with minimal wind - but you can see the wind has been here, oh yes indeed.
