Skinning up the ridge we observed some major snow transporting and triggered a few small wind slabs from the ridge we were on that didn't run far. We also triggered a long shooting crack. When we turned around we found that the tracks we had just made had been buried within a minute. Winds were whipping from the south.
These sensitive conditions were observed down to about 7000 feet
No pics, it was dark and a white out.
