Weather

Overcast, calm-light winds, no new precip.

Snowpack

Large collapses noticed while touring on north facing terrain. Cracking near trigger points.

Avalanche

Numerous natural slides from last storm - small-medium slabs with ~1' crowns within storm snow. One ~6' crown on wind loaded slope, 15' x 15' slab. 1' x 5' x 5' pocket skier triggered on low 30's degree north facing slope. All avalanches appeared to be within storm interface and did not observe any that stepped down to persistent weak layers.
