Won't go to in depth as Kobernick/Gagne/Kendall pretty much covered it. Just a quick note on activity. The new snow was very sensitive on the density inversion above the old snow surface, and small wind slabs and soft slabs were very easily triggered and managed with ski cuts. Triggered multiple in upper days, main days, and banana days. Some running a decent distance, though none running as far or fast as the activity noted on se facing. I think manageable considerable describes it well. High danger tomorrow. Wouldnt mess with them tomorrow, as they will be too deep, and potentially breaking out much wider. Few pics below of the typical results.
