No red flags.

Wind - one could that see some of the tracks in Wilson Chutes had blown in; isolated cracking but no slabs noted.

1-2mm flakes here and there of SH and squares/actually facet/needles noted in localized sheltered terrain a couple cms down in the Wilson/MCC terrain. Not alarming.

Seems like mostly LOW danger in the backcountry. Even HS 1m or so w basal and midpack weaknesses present though dormant.
