Rode N/E aspects off Baldy and N aspects off the Crags. 1750-2000m~. Snow conditions were excellent. HST 50cms~ through terrain travelled. Storm snow largely unconsolidated with no notable slab properties except on isolated convexities. No whumpfing, shooting cracks, or drum-like sounds noted. Multiple hand-shears and pole probes produced no notable results. Some isolated SH growth in sheltered terrain, 3-5mm in size. Observed avalanches NE aspect, 1900m~. Convexities into extreme terrain. Appears to have failed during most recent storm cycle.
