We saw one D2 pocket of fresh windslab that popped out below 27 Mile peak on a windloaded convexity with exposed rocks. We heard of a snowmachine triggered windslab avalanche up in Girls area the day previous, as well as a report of the Wall being triggered by a party of Road Runners Friday or Saturday.
