Quick report
Strong winds above treeline sent us towards grey butte looking for protected terrain. Triggered a small avalanche in a pocket of steep terrain off the peak. Snow didnt seem to have much wind influence besides slight texture on the ridge. The slide didnt propagate very wide but the snow didnt seem well bonded to the crust layers from the last cycle.
