Weather

Partly cloudy and 50 degrees. Winds from south gusting to 20mph. Stronger winds at peak level with visible snow transport of what little hasn't already been stripped.

Snowpack

0-24 inches of dense wind affected snow from the Sunday-Monday storm cycle.

Avalanche

NW facing gully on Blue ran from 13,600' to 12,800'. Ran 10/2 or 10/3. Crown visible upper right of path clean to the ground. Left sizable debris for early October but not terribly surprising with the vigorous winds from the S/SE.
