<p>Quick trip up to Murray cabin, staying mostly on the trail and out of avalanche terrain. 35-40 cm of light, fluffy storm snow in the area that became more dense by midday. Winds picked up while we were out and began knocking snow off trees. We didn't observe any slab avalanches but never really had good views of steeper avy terrain. Birds were happy and it felt like Spring out there!</p>
