Avalanche Information
Skier triggered a few slabs from the RL skin track as we climbed above 11,000'. These were all small, on east-facing terrain. We also came across a thicker hard slab that likely ran naturally today into the bowl.

Clouds, winds, and light snowfall increased this afternoon. cloud cover: overcast; wind loading: moderate; recent snowfall (cm): 30; snow avail for transport: moderate amounts

We observed cracks shooting 10' to 30' in the recent snow as we climbed near and above treeline into more wind drifted terrain. Cracks were failing at the storm interface about a foot deep and in today's drifting snow a few inches deep.
