Tenderfoot had a crown on the SW face, but it looked a little old and filled in
One of the gullies on Tri-Tip's West face had a recent slab mid-elevation starting zone with recent looking debris. This gully had a snow machine track near the bottom of the debris, and the gully to lookers left (further North) had numerous high marks up it, but did not appear to have any recent avalanche activity.
