Snowed 6 inches in Mountain Village overnight with a slight wind from the south the day before. Up near treeline there was anywhere between 2 inches on south and west facing slopes to 2 feet and more on northerly and easterly aspects.
Avalanche
We were caught skinning up a different route after our third run on the same aspect, my friend, dog, and I were all caught after it broke around 30ft above us. We slid for another 50ft; I was buried up to my chest, my friend was about thigh deep and his dog fully buried. Everyone was able to get themselves out but it did take a long time to dig the skis out.
