There will be some folks going up on Sunday and Monday so we'll hear soon enough what it's like up there.

I witnessed a burial on that Pan Point slope, about a mile out of the parking lot and at about 6500 feet, some years back. A large number of skiers were all climbing the slope at the same time when the top guy triggered a slab. When the slide stopped, several guys were caught in the debris, and one had only his hand showing above the surface. His buddies ran over to him and did a quick dog-paddle to dig him out.

 

The route suggested by Clyde, along the ridgeline on the right side of that face, with small trees anchoring the snow, is probably the safest line.
