Weather

After a week of northerly winds. Not sure when it happened but sometime after the last snow of Jan 19th and the 26th when I was up there.

Snowpack

Pretty bare up high (look at Glacier Mountain at Keystone and there is nothing on it).

Avalanche

The rest of the bowl slides a bunch and you guys have lots of footage and photos of it but this is the first time I've seen it slide up in the trees (normally I think of it as a safer spot to make some turns).
