Signs of Unstable Snow

None reported

Observations

Took standard route into Kendall trees via commonwealth basin. Conditions stormy throughout the day, sun peaking out briefly for some periods. Stuck to "Upper Trees" area most of the day, N-NW aspect. Avoided open slopes due to forecast. Did not experience any instability signs beyond dry sluff on steeper parts of our skiing.
