Weather

Warm, light snow

Snowpack

Rampant collapsing. Very easy to trigger on N-E-facing. I stuck my ski tail into snow and got a booming collapse 8/10 times.

Avalanche

Several slides on slopes that rarely slide because they are typically wind-scoured. One large, wide slide on the bottom roll in the middle of East Bowl.
