Weather

SO windy - all day!! Unrelenting.. steady 40 mph wind with up to 70 mph gusts - knock-you-off-your-feet-strong !!! Warm temps, but the wind kept the snow cold - until the end of the day when traversing out on southerly slopes.

Snowpack

Zero signs of instability due to wind-scoured nature of the zone.

Avalanche

Saw one D1 wet slide on S aspect at approx. 3:30 pm - looked recent from earlier in afternoon. Skier triggered.
