Strong solar input on S facing slopes, but not enough to start WL activity. Dry loose point releases across upper ridges of Cascade on E faces. Largest cornices of the season building on E-NE sides of Cascade ridge. 1 meter of snow at 8000' in Big Bowl 1 with 30cm of new snow sitting above the Feb 18th dirt layer.

Multiple dry loose point releases within new snow on East faces in Big Bowl 1 and 2.
