Weather
Bluebird with light & variable winds near and above treeline.
Snowpack
BTL and wind protected is soft & faceted. Alpine is a mixed bag of weakening windboard. Reminds me of goldilocks & the three bears; the heavily textured snow is no good, the smooth snow is no good, but the lightly rippled snow is just right!
Avalanche
Older D1 that ran about 200 feet on a convexity between two rock outcrops. Also, skier triggered a very small loose dry slough (or is it sluff) on a steep micro-terrain feature.
