Snowed all day. Deep, soft snow at BTL and TL. Evidence of slab avalanches was present. Shooting cracks and small slab avalanches were observed while riding today. Slab avalanches released above the logging roads from the plow in the morning just before we arrived, 10-20cm deep. We avoided defined avalanche paths, and tried to stick to less steep trees. Reactivity seemed to decrease through the day.
