Weather

Clear, slight wind out of the south (5-10 mph).

Snowpack

Had several large collapses of the snowpack on a SE aspect ATL at ~12,000 ft (on a low angle slope). One was so big that a member of our party triggered it below me from >100 ft away, and I could hear the collapse travel upslope toward me and then felt the snowpack drop. We ended up turning around from there.

Avalanche

Saw no new debris (we skied Woods last weekend and saw debris on the SW slopes of Parnassus and debris from cornice collapse on SE face of Woods).
