Avalanche
Couple of small (1-1.5) storm slab naturals observed as we skinned the ridge. Probably from yesterday on the new snow interface. The snow felt pretty good today and we were only able to get small sluffs on one steep roll. We stayed away from steep lee loaded start zone but other groups today did drop straight from the cornice.
