Snowpack

N/NE facing slips off Trelease, about 11k-11800 elevation. We were seeing fracturing all day, even around the creek. No major propogations though. As we got closer to TL, had 3 whoomphs in the span of about 5 minutes- we're guessing it was the base layer (2/3 inches of facets) that failed. Also saw wind loading on a variety of aspects, but definitely concentrated on North and East facing slopes ATL and below ridges.

Avalanche

No slides to report. Stuff definitely can and will slide.
