3 laps up to the silver king ridge today. We encountered quite variable conditions - wind slabs, icy crusts under varying amounts of snow and the occasional soft powdery section. We occasionally has small area where windslabs shattered and slid short distances. On our last run we noticed that there were about 6 size 1-2 avalanches that had come down along 5 mile ridge. All appeared naturally triggered. There was quite a bit of direct, warm sun all day. Pictures of 2 below
