Trip up the Y-couloir with for some lazy (sled-assisted) laps. Mostly heavily wind-affected until we gained the glacier, where 20-30cm of freshies had avoided the week's nuking north winds. We rode slopes 25-35 degrees with no signs of instability. South aspects were getting a lot of sun but we didn't observe any sluffing or larger avalanches. There was evidence of a size 2 that released on a steep south face, likely on Thursday or Friday.
