Quick Observation

Great skiing on north aspects, with very deep powder. New snow was much more unstable than anticipated, due to a rapidly forming wind slab on top of the Feb 22nd surface hoar layer. Significant sluffing occurred on every run.

Avalanche Information

Multiple small (size 1-2) slides on a northerly slope, both natural and skier triggered. Observed the development of a significant wind slab, particularly in the lee of ridge features.
