Comments
Saw recent avalanche activity in the alpine, below cliffs or cornices. Notably the one ridge in the picture had a slide with ski tracks coming out of it.
In the trees ski quality was great, but it didn't take much open space for wind effect to start gradually building through the day. Sunny aspects got wetter and heavier as the day progressed
