Some size 1 natural wet loose avalanches spotted on steep east facing slopes (see image) along with a small slab crown (maybe 50cm deep and 5-10m wide but too far away to say for sure) spotted across the valley on a steep north facing slope. Didn't spot any recent cornice collapses. Skiing was mostly poor (heavy wet snow and/ or breakable crust) with some fun sections that hadn't refrozen yet. Skied most of the way back to the car with a handful of sections we had to walk.
