~D1.5 storm slab pockets that looked to fail in the center/steepest part of the E/NE. Bowls on Kelly. The mountain was shrouded with clouds again when I finally got to my camera but I had a good look through the binos.

There was a lot of wind affect from the frontal winds in Croy Canyon. Very reminiscent of the Soldier foothills.. (see photos).
