Snowpack

4" of new snow at summit, 1" near valley bottom. Fell on solid and supportive crusts on almost all slopes except high elevation due north.

Avalanche

Small, manageable sluffing on steep terrain on the new snow interface. Skier triggered one isolated and shallow old slab that broke on the 3/24 facet layer, in a heavily cross loaded gulley near treeline, D1.
