Weather
Winds and clouds started increasing around noon. No real snow transport, just some facets rolling and bouncing along the snow surface.
Snowpack
Got one crack in a small hard drift that propagated about 6 feet. Snow surfaces varied from hard drifts to wind crusts to sastrugi to cohesionless ~2 mm facets.
Avalanche
We ski triggered a couple of slow-moving facet sluffs that entrained the top 6” of facets on a sheltered, near treeline slope.
