Maid of the mist obs 1/27

Widespread SH had formed over the past couple of days in areas on the approach that were out in the open but shaded from the wind. We observed cornices in the back of the basin (NE/E facing) and a small wind slab had broken off underneath them. Wind-blown snow had filled in the skin track and ski lines from yesterday in maiden bowl. The sun was baking the southern facing slopes for most of the day today, and when we skied out, the snow in the direct sunlight was wet.
