Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

We skied Bryant couloir (5400', E facing) after ascending pineapple pass. We found 12-18" of well bonded, stable snow on top of the crust from before this latest storm cycle. We observed some small cornices on the pass above bryant couloir, and cut one as a stability test which didn't produce any reaction from the snow. Minor sluffing while skiing steeps was observed. We saw some evidence of wind loading but not enough to form stiff slabs on the aspects we travelled on.
