Quick observation with the essentials that will be updated with more specific information tomorrow.
Cracking was very localized on the crests of steep small test-slopes and I triggered one sizeable collapse, which remotely triggered a small storm slab ~50' downslope (we were on ridgeline).Weather

Observed 10+ small storm slabs along the road while driving over Galena Summit this morning (pictured). Observed two large crowns in the Marshall drainage and two large crowns/debris piles in the Meadow Drainage of the Sawtooths from the road (avalanches added). Also, we kicked off two small storm slab avalanches in steep terrain while on Titus Ridge (pictured). One was easy to trigger with a small stomp and the other was remotely triggered ~50 feet downslope after experiencing a collapse.
