Red Flags Comments
Some natural avalanches pouring off the steepest sunny slopes. Many seemed to initiate right around the rocks. Triggered a few wind slabs today. The deeper pockets were about 2' deep, seemed to be loaded from spin drift coming off the steep slopes above. Slabs would not move on slopes much under 40*, but would crack around skis.
