Observations
Skied w/sw aspects below the throne. Loose dry snow that got progressively heavier. Some roller balls, but no wind slab observed on descent. While skiing, observed some small loose wet avalanches. Also observed wind slabs on the approach to the ridge that were about 10cm thick and did not propagate beyond skis.
