Weather

Clear day with what felt like strong radiation. Winds were lightly gusting a valley bottom. Blowing snow was occasionally present at most exposed alpine locations, loading on to south and east aspects.

Avalanche

Went out slate to take stock of avalanches from last cycle. There were numerous slides present on Climax, lower Wolverine Basin road cuts, and Schuylkill Ridge. I travelled through the valley last on Friday around 2pm; visibility was slightly obscured at the time but reasonable. I believe a good chunk of the slides in photos occurred after Friday, 2pm.
