Weather

Cold (single digits) and very windy. Constant 25-35mph winds on Highlands Ridge with stronger gusts.

Snowpack

Lots of wind affected areas. Many NW aspects were very wind scoured.

Avalanche

From the top of Highlands Bowl, saw a small (R1/D1) slide at the top of Five Fingers (SE facing) that was fresh. Also noticed a larger slide (R2/D/3) further down the ridge that looked to have happened in the past 24-48hrs.
