Standard route up to top of trees, alders are starting to lay down. The route through the trees was quite pleasant, even on the way down despite the crust.
Obvious signs of instability
Observer Comments
We stepped off the skin track many times and did not hear any whumphing. There was what looked to be a few small storm slabs potentially triggered by cornice fall on the west ridge of Eddies (maybe 3,000'? facing SW). These slabs looked like they were triggered before the end of the storm, there was some new snow on top.
