- <p>Saw one natural windslab that had gone this morning on a NNE aspect around 10,300'. We were able to ski cut out one wind slab that was about 100' with a depth of 6"~16". Lots of snow being transported along the ridgelines.</p>
HS at the snow profile location was 235cm

- <p>Observed two windslab avalanches today, one natural and one skier triggered. Got a report of one other windslab releasing skier triggered. Not widespread, but I would expect these to become deeper and stiffer with continued winds and the forecasted new snow tonight and saturday. </p>
Saw a little of everything out there today. A few inches of snow from yesterday was all blown around and lying in a select few places. Elsewhere had everything from supportable windslab to wind crust, to MF crust. Snow down low at ~7,500' was pretty warm and damp.
