Easy to get collapsing, but couldn't get any small test slopes to react to our weight on the way up the ridge. While waiting for the visibility to get better we decided to kill some time and dig in the snow. Found a pretty unstable snow pack. I personally wouldn't be pushing it in steep terrain just yet. We did witness two skier triggered avalanches (SS-Su-R1-D2-O) later in the day on similar aspects about 1000' vertical feet higher. Low angle meadow skipping is fun.

- <p>PWL is out there and pretty easy to find if you start digging in the snow. We experienced a lot of collapsing as soon as we got off of the skin track. </p> <p>High winds were easily transporting all the new snow from the recent big storm. </p>
