We headed to Barnes/Limestone to check out the snowpack in the Avalanche Alley area and to check on cornice growth. The visibility was so bad we couldn't see ANYTHING up on the ridge! Our profile on an east aspect had 180 cm of snow and showed a mostly well settled snowpack. We didn't get any results in our tests, but with some moderate south west winds and a dusting of new snow, we suspected there may be some small windslabs in the alpine.
