Just out for a road cruise today and remote triggered several size 1 slabs on south facing, low elevation cut blocks and road cuts (btw 900-1400m). Looks to be recent storm slab overlying SH/FC (1.5) and was very touchy with new moist heavy snow. Expecting a natural cycle with continued loading. S1-S2 through the day. -1C and calm winds. Also, noted a size 2-2.5 in a path that regularly performs in same vicinity- SSE aspect - few days old likely failed with solar input, could not see start zone but entrained enough snow to run to bottom third of path. Likely started mid to upper path.
