Weather

Mix of clouds and sun. Light, showery snowfall started around 10:30 AM. Winds were light with moderate gusts out of the south.

Avalanche

Numerous small, Loose Dry avalanches confined to low-density snowfall that fell in the last 24 hours. They were confined to steeper slopes. We were able to initiate a small, slow-moving sluff on a north-facing slope steeper than 35 degrees, but it only traveled around 100 feet down hill and did not entrain much additional snow. Evidence of some larger slides that likely ran during the late-February storm event (2/26-27).
