Notes
Skied into middle basin from Beehive this morning and found 8-12 inches of unconsolidated snow on top of a sun crust. While skinning back up to the Beehive/Middle ridge we remotely triggered 12 inches of storm snow on a SE facing gully from 15 ft away, the crown was ~50 ft long. ~8,200 ft.
Winds increased throughout the morning, actively loading E aspects.
