Observation: Turnagain
Location: Sunburst
Toured up to sunburst ridge, to first main bench lots of obvious wind effect but surprisingly no red flags other than recent avalanche activity possibly from the day before. Looked like there was recent avalanche activity on the north face of magnum towards Taylor pass and hippy bowl on Tincan, snow felt upside down and hollow but did not form a cohesive slab on steeper terrain that was more protected.
Obvious signs of instability
