Fantastic riding up the Big Y and beyond. Lots of small loose avalanches in steep terrain, all aspects and a small number of size 1 slab releases as well. More small slides were starting to release from rocky areas in steep south aspects by early afternoon.

Lots of recent loose size 1 slides, all aspects observed. All were fresh, and guessing most were overnight or this morning.
