Quick report

No signs of instability today, snow was fairly unconsolidated and did not react cohesively in any hand pits. Snow depth at 6500 feet was between 80-95 cm. Snow skied super well on the first run, but started to slab up a bit with increasing temperatures.

Avalanche

D2 slide debris that appeared to be from yesterday ran from the top of powder bowl about 300-400 feet to the cat track, broke in a spot that would indicate windloaded terrain with a narrow choke point.
