We traveled out the Slate to Pittsburgh on sleds. Observed many natural avalanches on North and South aspects on the way out. As well as large wind drifts on road. 12in covered yesterdays skin track at bottom. As we climbed up we noticed the first steep roll had naturally released before we arrived at it and taken out the previous days skin track. On the descent, everything over 35 degrees slid. Everything under 35 degrees was not steep enough to ski.
