Quick report
More than a dozen storm instabilities ran in the Northwest Mountains, a mix of sluffs, wind slabs, and cornice falls D1-1.5. No step downs observed. In contrast, the pattern of large persistent slabs breaking deeper in the snowpack continued in the Southeast Mountains, with a handful of D2 hard slabs that ran on windloaded or crossloaded terrain in the alpine, on south to west aspects, similar to the activity that we observed a few days ago on Teo.
Carbonate shows winds starting easing around 5 a.m., no wind transport observed mid morning.

We looked this direction 1/10 and didn't see these slides. Likely ran late 1/11 or early 1/12. Two slides, might have been sympathetic. Lookers right coded here.
