Quick report
Widespread wind effect with very little snow available for transport. Observed several older small wind slab avalanches in the distance, as well as this small hard slab avalanche which appeared more fresh (date unknown, probably from today or yesterday). We skied the wind scoured side of the ridge, which skied better than expected. Great day to enjoy the sun with low ski quality expectations.
