Comments
The warming today triggered numerous size 1-1.5 loose dry and loose wet avalanches in steep sunny alpine terrain. We found 20cm of dry powder from yesterday's snowfall on north and east facing slopes at treeline which was fun to ski and less wind affected. There was also evidence of a couple of size 2 storm slabs from yesterday's storm on east facing alpine slopes under cliffs.
