Skinning up the Michigan city road early this morning. Winds were howling out of the west. As we crossed a small but steep slope above the gulch I was keeping the skin track just above the convexity and a crack shot out 50' from my skis and the whole slope fractured and slide to the bottom of the gully. Not a huge avalanche, but most of the slope that could have gone did. I would not want to venture out on to any bigger slopes today. With very strong winds, a persistent weak layer on certain slopes and aspects and high intensity snowfall rates of mostly grauple increased avalanche danger is a certain today.
