Ditto to the previous posts. A few additional photos attached. The large crowns on commonwealth ridge looked crisp enough to be from Friday PM, but difficult to be certain in the flat light. Another crown with impressive width on the ridge west of Pig’s Back. And the steep gully in the Commonwealth exit also had large debris - recent, but snow covered. Tryst skied well. Sluffing in steep terrain but otherwise no signs of instability in the chutes. Mostly cloudy until noon, but the sun came out after that and rapidly impacted the surface snow.
