Conditions were a little touchy this morning as I remotely triggered this small pocket walking along the Gold Hill Ridge Line. The south winds were gusty and blowing snow on to north and east aspects creating sensitive wind drifts and soft slabs. The weak layer was likely a change in density, with lots of wind overloading some lighter density snow. There was a brief break in the wind about mid morning and the conditions were a little less sensitive, but the wind picked back up as the afternoon went on. Felt like a solid moderate avalanche danger early in the day, but the danger should ramp up with the approaching storm.
