Traversed the backside of Mongo headwalls on approach to Ron Jeremy chute. Noticed several distinct whumpf's and snowpack settling on ridge top and wind/solar exposed terrain. Stiff punchy wind slab in the alpine and ridgetop. Triggered small slab while coming down the ridge from headwall , 5m wide, ran for 15-20m. Nothing substantial, but definite pucker factor. Weak layer is definitely very present and not bonding with new snow. No significant instability observed at lower elevations.
