Observations
Toured up the standard route to the Bryant couloir. Light snowfall when we hit the trailhead at 6am, tapering off by 8a and then brief snow showers until 10a. Observed some evidence of previous wind transport above 4500, but new snow and flat light made visual signs hard to interpret. Hand shears and test slopes on the way up yielded no results. Skiing the steeper slopes near the col produced only small, loose surface sluff.
