Observations

We toured up East Pk, into Cement Basin and then into Lake Basin. Isolated areas of windslab were present near the saddle separating Cement and Lake basins.

Also, though they remain on the small size, cornices that built rapidly in the past week continue to be sensitive to trigger with many failing naturally in the past several days.
