I did a loop out to Blaze Mountain via Beehive today, and don’t have a whole lot to report. I observed a few small, old sloughs and an east-facing cornice that failed lower down in Beehive, but none of them produced much. There is a noticeable wind crust at the surface in most places, which made the ski conditions humbling. 
I did get a couple new wind pillows to break and move somewhat forcefully while walking near the summit of Blaze, in an area with a very shallow snowpack. These were sitting on top of some large, old facets, and while they were relatively small, they definitely could have knocked me down in more consequential terrain.
