Ski cut in wind affected terrain released a 6" 50Ft wide SS avalanche ran 200 ft. Outside of wind affected terrain we experienced good stability otherwise (no collapsing, no cracking no other avalanches observed), between 9000-8000 elevation on North Aspect. Below 8000 ft, we experienced a lot of wet slide activity on north aspect, isolated to storm snow. At 8800 ft N, we dug a pit with 180cm total depth, still 10cm of sugary basal facets. Mid-pack facets from early feb not appreciated in this pit.
