7:30 - 12:30 light snow (minimal accumulation). Very windy about tree line. Lots of snow transport. 12:30-2:00 sun came out and started to affect the snow. a bit heavier, sticking to skis, little roller balls off the skin track. 11,000-12000'

Snowpack

3-4" of new snow. No signs of instability while skinning

Avalanche

1 - SE facing about 12,000' Fresh snow on the debris field so best guess is it is from a number of days ago. Seems like it was natural, about a 40 degree slope. 2 - SE facing about 11,350'. Snow from last night on the debris so maybe a few days old. There were tracks in the area and with the location my guess is it was skier triggered (maybe from the weekend when the danger was high). it was very small but in the trees. 32 degree slope
