It looked like there were several small wind slabs triggered on Saddle Peak. I was skiing with my family and didnt get a good look or a photo. One appeared to be just off the summit maybe 12" deep and not running very far at all. The other appeared to be near the going home chute even with the cliffs, and this one ran a bit further. These wind slabs looked like something to be looking for but also easy to avoid.

Today we saw a D2 slab avalanche at Goose Lake, E facing, 10800 ft. We estimate this avalanche to have ran in the early hours of 3/17. This was the only avalanche we observed in the past 4 days.
No fresh avalanche activity observed. Attached is a photo of the only sign of a recent avalanche we could find. (an old crown on an East aspect at 9600'). Photo: B Fredlund
