Weather

Increasing clouds and moderate snow mid morning.

Snowpack

Reactive. Every small test slope with older snow collapsed and cracked with little effort. Found one that finally ran after the collapse on a steeper slope that had been previously wind loaded.

Avalanche

Visibility was fading but there was evidence of a large slide in Coon Basin. E-NE aspect. I remote-triggered a small avalanche from the flats just off the road on an East aspect.
