We went for a small run before heading back to town. Saw few sizes 0.5 to 1 avalanches on our walk to Baldy. All were on convex rolls or steep terrain with cliffs above. Wet looses avalanches on south east side. As soon as we were on the ridge and venture more into the west side, the snow was whumfing and craking. Lots of wind on the west side, wind slabs were forming. About 40cm of new snow in the last 48h.
