Weather

After a quick bout of sun in the morning, snow moved in around noon with brief windy squalls, followed by calmer periods. An inch of snow accumulated while I was out bringing the storm total in this area to 2 inches! Cold temperartures.

Avalanche

I came across an avalanche that most likely ran on April 1. It's possible it was remotely triggered by skiers descending 50 feet to the south in lower-angle terrain.
