Found great snow where avalanches can’t go

We avoided all avalanche terrain today and found deep powder in the flats around 1500 m. Total snowpack depth was around 100 cm, with 40 cm of recent storm snow. Visibility was obscured, but we could hear avalanche activity. Winds were calm, temperatures hovered at -0.5 C, and snowfall rates increased throughout the afternoon from 2 cm/hr to 5 cm/hr.
