Found several cornices forming on north facing slopes. Upon further inspection of one we found shooting cracks while walking near them. High wind gusts (50km/h+) from the south, open areas were wind affected and crusty from blowing snow. Low visibility above 1500-1600m. Deep snow loading in lower elevation in trees areas (40cm).
