Avalanche activity consisted of shallow soft slabs about 8 too 10 inches deep on steep terrain of all aspects. Lots of the sloughing and soft slabs ran during the storm. Triggered a couple decent size soft slabs in both N facing shoots into cardiac bowl. Very manageable ran 100 or so feet until slope angle decreased. Snow got a little damp on NE by 1:30, but not very much wet activity observed on anything but the south end of the compass
New snow was light density cold smoke.
