Comments:
Small D1 that ran a bit looked to be a slab with some debris deposited below probably went overnight at some point. Based on its starting location under some cliffs (NW of the lake) may have been a cornice drop.
None reported
No other instability was observable aside from small surface sluff in steeper terrain. However, you could see wind drifts of snow in places not without trees. None of those areas traveled through seemed to have slabs on the surface and was unconsolidated with good bonding to the layer below.
