Lots of loose dry powder from the recent storm over a hard wind-affected layer in exposed areas in alpine/treeline. Set off quite a few little sluffs in steeper sections, but nothing propagating much and sluffs were restricted to recent storm snow. Nice skiing in the trees.

Just some small sluffing on a steeper bit of open slope on the Cats/No Dogs/No Socks ridge. Very loose and dry, and only the most recent snowfall sluffed off of the older wind slab layer.
