Quick report
Overall it appears the new snow wind loaded in most start zones on NE aspects of the ravine. Blowing snow was seen at the top of Dutchess. Left Gully, lookers right, appeared to have cornice formation from active blowing snow. With the shallow snowpack it could be easy to trigger wind slabs from the recent snowfall in and around exposed rocks.

There was a visible crown from a small pocket that pulled out of Chute, potentially skier triggered, from earlier this morning. It was hard to make out an avalanche path with the flat light.
