NoObservations
Skied 5 min and Boulderfield trees. Saw another skier ski cut a small avalanche on a steep wind loaded feature of 5 min. Recent avalanches on multiple aspects looked like they failed during or at end of last storm. Wind slab hard to avoid in NTL but not reactive on <35* deg terrain for us. Moderate winds and periods of mod snow during our tour. Active wind transport including strong downslope gusts on S face Herman.
