Skiing in Brighton today. There was definitely snow being transported by wind and what looked like a decent sized slide halfway down the Seagull on Tuscarora. Our only first hand experience was down low in Brighton - a narrow and steep chute. Ski cut at the top produced a heavy wet slide at our feet taking the full width of the chute and all the new snow. It gouged into the old snow but did not step down. The slide moved slowly and ran out after 100-150 vertical. No one was caught, no one was below. We had started to observe roller balls in the new snow and were on our way out while taking extra care when this took place.
