Sorry for the late observation. Travel was up Red Pine to No Name Baldy, White Baldy, Lake Chute back down White Pine. Numerous shallow, slow-moving sluffs initiated with ski cuts on Lake Shot off No Name Baldy, these were spooky with the extremely poor visibility but not packing a lot of punch. Sluffing and soft slabs as well on N face of White Baldy and a small soft slab triggered by a skier I watched descent Lake Chute into White Pine fork. Upon entering White Pine, noticed what appeared to be a significant number of natural sluffs that had released in the Glacier Bowl area. Sluffing was manageable but you really couldn't ski anything over ~35 degrees up in the alpine without triggering something.
