Quick report

Appears to be a 30-40 inch storm total at the upper elevations of losthorse. Very dense consistent slab with wind moving snow on the ridge through out the day. Cornices are finally making an appearance above the traditional slide paths and at ridge tops. Observed two natural slides off of steep rocky east facing terrain strong enough to move some trees around and produce significant debris fields. Riders were venturing into some steeper terrain with no human triggered slides observed by our party, as per forecast would recommend exercising caution as the recent storm slab appears to be high consequence if triggered. Road is starting to deteriorate as expected for late march.
