Comments
Out from Jan 20 to 22, extremely windy on the 21st with new snow through the trip. Natural avalanche, guessing came down a few days before we got in there, 2.5 to 3 came from just below the top of the ridge to valley bottom. Pit tests were pretty stable, but snowpack was low ranging from 150cm to 200cm. Stayed out of the Alpine, in the trees and the snow on the leeward side was great. Some minor sluffing of wind skin, up to approx 5cm.
