About -6 as we left the car at 8:30 in the morning, somewhere around 0 when we returned to the car at 2:30. Watched lots of wind blowing NE pulling snow off mt fairview on the approach. Saw 2 fairly large avalanches come off mt fairview while gearing up

Triggered by large gusts of wind, ran from quite high up all the way to the valley bottom. Evidence of a few small slabs that let go much closer to the valley, right when the spindrift was pouring in
