We observed some wind loading this morning from the south east at ridgetop. Small avalanche size 1 on steep convex shallow terrain, few days ago. Skiier trigger. Toured into flute bowl it was awesome! Skiing was great down to 1700m just watch out for rocks. Test results= 3 tests in harmony bowl 35 degree slope. Air temperature -3 1. ECTN down 32 2. ECTP13 down 35 3. ECTP3 down 35 We believe that the avalanche danger is moderate, low, low with huge ? concerning approaching storm. Concerned with persistent weak layer at 35cm down.
