Notes

Downhill winds were drifting a good bit of snow at lower elevations. We mostly found stripped slopes and wind effect, but did find a few deeper drifts. There was a small and thin avalanche low on the east face that looks to have pulled out with this downhill wind loading. Approximately 25 ft x 25 ft vertical and ~6" deep.
