Today at Seaton we found just a dusting of new snow and no recent avalanches. We observed several small, size 1, point releases in steep alpine terrain likely releasing Saturday evening while it was snowing or with some solar input in the last couple days. The recent dusting of snow (~3cm) just covers the previous sustrugi and wind effect. We opted to take advantage of the less inspiring riding to brush up on our rescue skills. We practiced companion rescue and crevasse rescue rope systems.
