Comments
Noted some small avalanches at lower elevations that seemed like they broke during the storm overnight. These avalanches where likey storm slab avalanches that broke within the new snow from a density change. The photo is of one near the Soapstone trailhead. I saw some other very small ones along the road cuts south of the trailhead.
Riding conditions where excellent. Over a foot of new snow. There was greenhousing diluting the day and snow was slightly heavier on top.
