Beehive Basin Prayer Flags

Our party toured up to Prayer Flags this morning. We found 10-15 cm of low density new snow drifted much deeper in some places. Their were moderate winds out of the west to north. We stomped small soft slabs of wind drifted snow at the ridge breaking 10-15 cm deep and only 5-10 feet wide at the new/old interface. We also witnessed small point releases on very steep slopes and around cliffs triggered by spin drifts. We Found cracking in the new snow on both East and West sides of the ridge between Beehive and Middle. On unprotected solar aspects you could feel a sun crust under the new snow. Places unaffected by the sun were bottomless feeling. We had no note worthy results in our quick test pit.
