We climbed to the west corner of the Tube just above Jacks and observed what appeared to be a natural release due to cornice fall into the north ridge probably failing on layer of facets. Did not appear that this went far, but didn't get too close to get a good look.
Skied to upper Jacks near the rock, dug a pit and got some unsettling scores on stability testing. (see above)
Traversed back to the ridge and skied Bruces. Climbed back up to standard skintrack from the bottom of Bruces and then skied south from the lunch tree. No instabilities noted or tested on this slope, still very thin in places. Some minor snow cracking noted near creekbed. SW facing ridge to the east produced some shooting cracks on crust/facet layer above creekbed.
Warming temps with continual snowfall throughout the day and steady wind in open terrain from WSW at moderate speeds.
Thanks for leaving the road open for us, ITD.
