Quick Observation

We found widespread and reactive windslabs on the top of our run down the west side of glacier crest (~2100-2250m). Ski cuts in the trees and gully produced a number of small results even in shallow treed terrain. Lower down there were isolated pockets of windslabs and shooting cracks but no results. We also ran into a group who had partial burial on one of the Raven's couloirs from a slide that was triggered roughly a quarter the way down with a ~45cm crown.
