Avalanche
20-30cm on in sky pilot area. Storm subsided around noon and Strong winds picked up, direction was sporadic and generally up all gullies. Winds settled storm snow into slabs rather quickly, and we triggered several size one slabs going down Moraines, sticking to the guts. Another party decided to go down cleveage, and triggered a slab which flushed the entire entrance, likely a size 1.5-2. Best and safest skiing was definitely in the trees, between ~1300m-1600m.
