NComments:
We did several ski cuts triggering three wind slabs on both Eastern and Northern aspects. Please see attached pictures below for explanations. We encountered light to moderate snowfall through the entire day, and noted a predominant strong Westerly wind along the ridge tops, as well as micro-currents pushing the winds in various directions at lower elevations. Otherwise we saw no further signs of natural avalanche activity.Signs of Unstable Snow
