Weather

Calm, cold, sunny, pretty darn splendid.

Snowpack

Stable, supportive, no signs of instability other than the fast running facets.

Avalanche

valanche-ish :) made ski cut in the new snow just under the high point on the ridge. Ski cut produced a little sluff that, when it rolled over a cliff band, picked up some momentum and more snow and ran really far, really slow. We were anticipating maybe a little movement with the new snow, but we’re surprised by how far it ran.
