Weather

Very windy, sunny day. Temperatures around 38 degrees. Snow surface remained cold except on the sunniest, most southerly-facing slopes.

Avalanche

Numerous natural avalanches were visible from 02/04 through 02/06 avalanche cycle. Primarily on southeast, east, and north aspects near treeline. Winds have stripped southwest-facing ridge tops of Seller and adjacent peak in the Sawatch. No snow is left to transport there, but otherwise still lots of flagging and productive wind transport on most peaks above 12000ft.
