Took a walk to Quartz Hill to poke around. Avg. 60cm HS at TL. Wind scouring beginning in the alpine with leeward N-NE aspects starting to appear wind loaded. Small cornice developments were visible on the ridges. No obvious snowpack instabilities at TL. We had some fun mellow turns on the NW aspect. A few sharks still lingering for sure though. We dug a profile on the NE aspect.
