Weather

Increasing clouds. Winds varied from west to south to north, but primarily north.

Snowpack

Signs of activity basically older, but one fresher slide to our north. Sign of activity off surface hoar layer and from wind transport too.

Avalanche

These two avalanches were one to two weeks old. There was also one other slide way north of us that looked fresher, but too far away to pick out any detail, but East aspect above treeline, maybe cornice fall trigger.
