Weather

Ripping ridge line winds, with sustained strong gusts. Wind was coming from the NE and swirling around.

Avalanche

Triggered multiple small d1 r1 slides in the lower chute we skied. Small pocket wind slabs would routinely release in ski cuts aprx 3 inches deep across the chute, but wouldn’t propagate with any force.
