Weather

Big wind. Flagging off peaks, gusts swirling snow above treeline.

Avalanche

Unintentionally popped a small inconsequential windslab on an obvious convexity, 11,000? NE aspect Baxter Basin, see photo. Light went extremely flat and mistakenly skied over the roll. Not a problem but points to potential for the problem in bigger terrain.
