A great access trail brought us quickly up to Treeline at Lucille. Above the main bowl, in the Alpine, we observed a recent wind slab avalanche. Snow was actively blowing off ridge crests, and exposed Treeline terrain showed signs of wind effect. In contrast, sheltered trees held deep pockets of snow and provided fun riding.
