We saw a few avalanches today at the Grizzly Plateau that were triggered by yesterday's strong southwesterly winds. These avalanches were all wind slabs that pulled out of steep alpine east faces. A couple of them also triggered additional slabs when they hit treeline. We suspect these failed on a weak layer of surface hoar down around 25cm.
