Weather

Warm, calm, mild, sunny to partly cloudy.

Snowpack

SW aspect, NTL.10" new or so over last couple days. Surface becoming wet on solar aspects.

Avalanche

A small road cut slide, snowmobile/towed snowboarder triggered. Crown 9 to 18" 20' wide, 10' tall. Did no measure slope angle. Did not look at profile, but looked like slab crust combo over facets on the ground. Significant snow above fracture, but slope not very steep.
