Skied Molar trees and saw multiple slides had occured on the chutes of Repeater Ridge South. Size varies from 1.5-2 we estimate. Did not see tracks so assuming these were all naturally triggered by warming from the sun. In contrast, the north aspects of Ozone, Rudis, and Molars had stable snow but dust on crust below alpine. Northerly alpine slopes had some great skiing with recent ~10cm of fresh snow.
