Skiing

Skied beehive basin and dropped into bear basin early this morning before the warm up, about 1-2" of fresh. In a early morning pit on the bear basin side near the top of the ridge we didn't get propagation but got cracking on hit 5 of our ECT. Noted a slab over facets buried ~ 50 cm from the bottom, with another slab and facet combo below that to the ground. ~90 cm total depth. As it warmed up other groups reported collapsing as they came up and we also saw the aftermath of a remotely collapsed cornice.
