Weather

20F, very windy with wind gust 30+ mph, partly cloudy. A lot of snow transportation.

Snowpack

Wind slabs were starting to form but the snow surprisingly soft and hadn't really formed a dense slab yet (11,300 - 12,000' N, NE, E aspects). Cornices were forming at all the usual spots.

Avalanche

There was a lot of collapsing on N, NE, E aspects, happened maybe 10 times throughout the day. We did not see any shooting cracks.
