Skinning in the lower elevations was a challenge because the snow felt very unconsolidated in spots. Above tree line, I couldn’t feel the weak layer while skiing. Regardless, I stayed off anything above 30°. I jumped on some small test slopes and couldn’t get anything moving. The only recent avalanche I saw was the one in the photo which I suspect was control work. There were some older naturals, but they had new snow on them. No recent natural avalanches seen today.
