Notes

Triggered a small slide (r2 d2) in a north east facing chute at around 8300 ft. The slide was triggered on a ski cut through a wind loaded drift and propagated about 15 or 20 ft wide. It about 6 in deep on the edges and two feet in the loaded area. We observed several other signs of instability throughout the day, most wind loaded terrain was touchy and easy to rip off with slabs anywhere from 6 in deep to two or three feet deep. All signs of instability originated from the interface between the new snow from the last few days and facets from the last high pressure system.
