Quite active storm snow, with surprisingly connected slab avalanches on steep, wind loaded slopes near the AF Twins, and in upper White Pine/Red Pine. Common theme appears to be grauple layer pooling under cliff bands and lower angle transitions.
Cross-loaded terrain features in the wind zone, offered predictable stiff slabs, reactive to the additional weight of a person.
Steep slopes not effected by the wind sluff easily, and while manageable and slow moving, entrain more snow than you might expect.
