The most interesting scenery was in the Monte Cristo Cirque, where we found evidence of the natural cycle from the first week of January and could see the remnants of crowns that extended across most of the upper drainage's North faces. While many of the crowns were midslope or lower (Pic 7), likely due to the graupel pooling, a lot of the hanging snowfields up to the ridgeline had avalanched on the Christmas layer (Pic 6) and left large, now-obscured debris piles along the toe of the slope, some with tree debris still visible. Based on what was still visible I would guess multiple sizable D2 and D2.5 slides occurred along the headwall during the natural cycle.
Overall, no stability concerns of any kind for the rest of high pressure but it will be important to track surface weakness when the next storm approaches.
