Powder day up on east peak with about 10 cm of fresh snow. Up top on the ridge moderate to severe winds and very wind affected. We skied the south / south east face of east peak, not much affected by the wind. The day was cloudy and windy, clearing up a bit in the afternoon. No noticeable signs of instability. The powder was fresh, made for some nice turns !
