Weather

Weather: sunny, no wind

Snowpack

Snowpack: There was snow and it was packed. Stomped during ski cut on small pocket of hang fire without incident approx. 30-35 degree pitch. Skied slide path that pulled out during last storm cycle and now has 10-12 inches sitting on bed surface. Felt the facet punch under the fresh while skiing.

Avalanche

Avalanches: Plenty of random pockets have pulled out on NE aspects both in the trees and out in open. Avalanche up on Augusta south face just below the summit that appeared fairly recent. R1D1.5?
