Noted some small avalanches at lower elevations that seemed like they broke during the storm overnight. These avalanches where likey storm slab avalanches that broke within the new snow from a density change. The photo is of one near the Soapstone trailhead. I saw some other very small ones along the road cuts south of the trailhead.

Riding conditions where excellent. Over a foot of new snow. There was greenhousing diluting the day and snow was slightly heavier on top.
