Followed established skin track to summit. Lots of wind effect. Super variable surface. Most aspects above 2500 has sastrugi or windslab, some with a few CMs of dust on top. Some powder to be found the trees and areas protected for the wind.

Small avalanche on steeper aspect along lookers left of y gully on troy proper. Appeared to be a day or two old. Looked natural, no tracks near it.
Recent Avalanches? | Yes |
Collapsing (Whumphing)? | No |
Cracking (Shooting cracks)? | Yes |
Lots of wind loading. Recent avalanches. Slabs still seem to be a bit energetic. Small shooting cracks (less than 3ft) on thin wind crusts on upper troy proper.
Light snow and wind.
Highly variable snow surface. Sastrugi and wind crusts on most aspects above trees, with a dusting on top. Powder in trees and protected areas on lower terrain.
No results in CT or ECT in wind protected area. No slab on top. Faceting rounds on top of melt freeze crust 50cm from surface. DISCLAIMER: I suspect the MF surface was skied before snow fell on it, as it was pretty jagged. I would not be super surprised to find different results where the crust is smoother or in less protected area w/ wind loading.
