Traversed the emma ridges yesterday around 4pm during the storm. Wind loaded slopes were very sensitive. We triggered multiple slides on north facing aspects while walking the ridge, these slides seemed to remain confined to wind loaded areas. First one we believe was remotely triggered. We were walking the ridge and were about 120 feet away when we caused a slide that broke on the surface of the large facet layer. Second slide my partner traversed past a step north facing chute and caused some cracking. When I walked by second, a loaded portion gave way. (Last two pics)
Also still definitely not enough snow to ski south facing as of yesterday afternoon.
