Widespread natural avalanche cycle to SZ 3 on N, NE, E and SE aspects in the last 24 hours. Most notably, Ruedi's and Molars Ridge N aspect had widespread SZ 1-2. Dogteeth SE aspect few SZ 2-2.5. Repeater ENE aspect SZ 3 (less than 12 hrs old). Fresh wind affect was evident on the crossloaded fans of Ruedi's North and Molars North. While the wind was strong from the S yesterday, it had shifted to moderate to strong from the W and NW today. We managed to find excellent non wind affected boot top powder on the lees of that wind mayhem, i.e. N (lower treeline and below), NE, E and SE. We did not venture in the above treeline since the upper treeline was already showing lots of wind affect. Ski penetration varied from 20 to 30cm.
