Scurried up Cannon from the northish, got spooked by the presence of 1-2' windslab as we climbed a couloir, so we bailed over the summit and out through the Enchantments via Prusik Pass. Fun day, crust formed most everywhere but the steep high and shady. Enchantments pristine. Expect considerable avy chunder E of Snow Creek, as well as above and below Nada Lake, long night (20+ hrs car to car). Avalanche bridged Snow Creek just upstream of the snowladen trail bridge. Many thanks to Susan for leading the way!

Didn't see any snow moving, but plenty of chunder below most sunny slopes, some rather recent. Mixed sun and sunny snow all day.
So, did you approach via rat creek?  nice photos by the way!

Saw you heading up yesterday and was wondering if I'd see a report.  Guess I should write one for our trip in the area...
We saw some deep wind loading (up to 30+") and moving snow on Friday north of Argonaut.  To much a white out to see anything else.
