Toured in upper red pine today. As expected we saw plenty of loose wet action on east facing slopes around 11am, some in the form of small avalanches slowly running a couple hundred feet and some in the form of thousands of snowballs peeling off the rocks at once. On our exit out redpine trees we looked back to pay homage to her majesty and saw a small wind slab Avalanche (likely skier triggered) on NE around 10,000. Other than that, there was powder and the people got some.
