Comments
Riding conditions were quite good, however the newest layer of snow (approx 20-25 cms) plus wind loaded snow hasn't bonded well with the snowpack and slab activity was present. There was evidence of natural trigger slides off the ridge. We saw one human triggered size 1 avalanche that was about 30cms of snow, approx 70 feet across and slid for 60-70m.
