A variety of small windslab avalanches (size 0.5-1) around Hospital Bowl and Dispatchers Bowl. All on lee features, roughly SE, mostly skiier triggered. Up to 15cm crown. Some small slabs slid away while skiing more sheltered gullies; minimal propagation, still more than a sluff. One skiier triggered slab in sheltered terrain had propagated a bit, but still only size 1. Windward slopes are hard crust. Tons of people up there today, tracks on most lines on ursus side.
