Powder on high north facing slopes made good skiing. We found a 20-30cm wind slab on the north side of Matier in hand shear tests but non-planar. Lots of loose-wet activity on Anniversary glacier (NE facing), both natural and skier triggered.

Avalanche

Observed signs of recent slab avalanche off Vantage west ridge (see ree circle in picture)
