Headed up to the PC Ridgeline to see what the storm was doing, It was raining in the lower parking lot of Solitude when I arrived but graupeling in the upper lot. The snow was damp up to at least 8000ft and making a tight icy snowball was easy. Mid elevation was inverted, upper elevation was scoured. Took a look into Scott's which had a natural avalanche in it that I put on the avy page, No Name, and South Monitor all these north facing slopes were getting heavily wind loaded but Scott's was the only one with sighs of avalanching. I was getting cracking in the wind drifted snow but did not experience any collapsing. Some of the cornices are getting about as big as they get in these parts and I stayed quite a distance back from them, in these warm windy storms they become unpredictable and may break way farther back than expected. I also noted large wet avalanche debris piles in the bottoms of the Power House Couloirs
