Picnic Rock Brockway Summit

Skied brockway summit to picnic rock. On S aspects there was a 2 inch breakable sun crust on all areas except on the shaded N side of trees. This crust was covered with a dusting of new snow. On N aspects unconsolidated snow was deeper. Near the top we kicked a couple cornices which broke fairly easily (see photo). We also jumped on some small, leeward, N facing test slopes just below the ridge. None of these cracked or failed. The largest cornice failure we triggered was oven sized.
