Quick report

Recent avalanche activity in Bagley basin and on NE face of Huntoon. Most occurred last night or with the last of the most recent storm. N thru E aspects held the most avalanche activity we observed. Roller balls and pinwheels were a common sight in low and mid elevation terrain but very few wet loose avalanches observed — aside from one upper elevation solar visible during the drive down 542 around 4pm. Snow falling out of trees was our biggest hazard today as we kept our terrain confined to small avalanche paths with a focus on being able to see lots of terrain. Clear skies most of the day, building clouds in the afternoon. Many signs of instability with the arrival of visibility today. Seems like we still have a fair bit of uncertainty in our West North snowpack.
