Numerous slab avalanches, one partial burial in our group. Saw one avalanche crown about 30cm deep, 75-100m wide and ran for about 50m. Snow was very heavy and the day warmed significantly towards the end of the day. Wind slabs were forming on lee slopes. About 30cm if new snow in places with another 30cm below before the rain crust. Colum tests were very reactive.
