- <p>We came accross a few recent avalanches in the area. One looked to be a natural from a few days ago, another looked to be triggered by a sled today. </p>
None of our tests had significant results, however the structure is very poor in this area. Things seem comfortable in their skin at the moment mostly because there's not much of a slab in the upper part of the pack. Add some wind or water weight to the mix and we will have problems.
This slide appeared to be sled triggered from low on the slope. It looked to start at the new snow/ old snow interface and then stepped down to the ground.
This looked like a natural from a day or two ago.

- <p>The avalanches we saw today were all in an area that sees a lot of wind loading.</p> <p>With more weight added to the snow pack, I think this problem could come back to life.</p>
The storm snow has settled out to 12" of really light density snow. Riding Conditions are pretty good, but many places remain very shallow.
