Only sign of avalanche activity in the Clara/Marion area was the spot I’ve seen referred to as “old faithful.” Looked like a shallow D1 wind slab. Frequent cracking in shallow (1-3”) wind slabs while breaking trail on lee features. No obvious signs of deeper instabilities being overloaded. Kept it low angle and didn’t dig.
