Sunny and cool.

Avalanche

Evidence of a VERY WIDESPREAD and extensive avalanche cycle clearly visible. Too many slides to even begin to count. Most slides ran near and above treeline on all aspects. Most slides ran full track with good propagation across slopes and sometimes spanning multiple aspects. Lots of slides took out mature timber. Impressive to say the least.
