Weather

Cold. Calm. Clear. Then cloudy.

Snowpack

So many facets on top of the snowpack.

Avalanche

It was easy to trigger small avalanches on steep test slopes. Some were entraining a lot of the upper pack. Probably not enough to bury you but fast enough and enough volume to knock you off your feet.
