Saw numerous very shallow surface snow avalanches in dry today. All on ~N facing slopes. Crowns were mostly only a few inches deep, maybe up to 6" or so. Some did propagate quite far, maybe as much as 100'. While skinning (on N facing slopes) we didn't really encounter any cracking other obvious red flags.
