Found this slide on Saturday that was maybe triggered on Thursday or Friday. Looks like someone was skinning up the west side of Red Baldy and triggered it while going up. It looks like a few other fresh drifts had cracked but did not slide prior to this. It didn't look like anyone was caught.
Trent and I spotted pretty good plumes of wind blown snow Thursday morning from North winds. Today (Saturday) we walked on a few wind drifts and didn't get any cracking. It was pretty simple today with "go anywhere" conditions, just avoid fresh drifts which weren't very widespread.
