Toured up Elephant Mt via the Blackmore approach yesterday. 

4 to 6" of light density snow with some deeper, wind loaded areas on the way in.

Very little wind noted throughout the day.

One small point release on Blackmore. Appeared to be new snow, less than 1' in depth, 30 to 40' wide, and running for 200'. No other avalanches noted in the area.

NE side of Elephant Mt had a snow depth of 110cm. 10" of fresh light snow, over a denser 12" layer that was fist hardness.

Zero collapsing throughout the tour. No cracking on any aspect at any elevation.
