Signs of Unstable Snow

None reported

Observations

We climbed to 6500ft via Bedal Peak last weekend. From the summit, we could see the entire north have of Kyes Peak has slid (photo attached, grainy). There is much more snow up above 5,000ft than I'd foreseen, and most ridgelines are corniced. Slides on steeper sections below 6,000ft look older. Dakobed was avy free from our view
