We observed a thin rime-crust and heavily rimed trees in open windward terrain above about 8000'
We noticed one recent natural avalanche of wind drifted snow off Red Pine Ridge on an east facing slope at around 9000'. Looked like a large piece of cornice fell, triggering a shallow avalanche below and running at least 500 vrt' into the transition below.

Nice, smooth powder conditions, even with thin rime-crust in open windward terrain.
