Spent 3 days out at Paleo peak. Riding quality was decent. Carvable wind pressed snow in the alpine on most aspects. Steep sunny slopes developed a crust on Monday, with small point releases but no slab avalanches observed. We did not see any signs of avalanche activity while we were out, but there were multiple size 2 wind slabs on northwest to northeast aspects in the alpine that looked to have ran sometime on Friday or Saturday. As well as a large size 3 on steep north aspect that looks to have maybe stepped down from a wind slab. We suspect this also ran sometime on Friday due to the amount of snow on the debris. Although it's hard to tell because of the wind the area had gotten.
