No Avy photos but I can assure you that the forecasted high risk is accurate. Wind loaded slopes combined with a good reload and warm temps over an old layer resulted in high potential for slides. Saw shooting cracks on steep alpine slopes and one size 1 slide possibly only hours old. We mainly stayed low and in the trees but tried a controlled sled cut on a steep convex slope and it dropped dangerously easy. Rain at the bottom +4 Snow up top -2
