Beautiful but windy day. Clear windloading occuring at upper elevations and mid-elevation ridge lines, although most of the slabs we found were either wuite shallow or too stubborn to pop.
was able to trigger a few on our descent in the usual areas. One at about 7,500 feet coming out of the Bailey Cirque area. Another at about 7,000 feet just above the Backyard run. Both on N/NE aspect.
