Quick report

Witnessed a lot of other wet slides, around, from D1 to D2. Probably from the last couple days. Also noticed that on steep, manky slopes we could trigger very small wet slabs, but they would only run a few feet. Only cracking and collapsing around our skis on the skin up and ski down (very isolated) but we also stayed on slopes mostly 30* or less - no cracking and collapsing beyond where our weight was. Overall, variety of snow: lots of wind loading, wind boarded surfaces, 0.5-1" firm crust with soft snow underneath, rime ice, mank.

Avalanche

Saw a small glide avy release and run down a steep ravine for about 150'.
