Today I was skiing in East Hayden Creek. I witnessed a cornice fall around 1230pm. Also I triggered multiple wet loose avalanches on several aspects including a north facing slope 9400 ft. None bigger than D1

Roaring wind, graupal, low to no visibility. 3-5'' of mixed snow forms. Skiing was surprisingly good and wind slabs generally unreactive, but I was just on lower Fisher, right below Lulu. Picture is South East on Scotch Bonnet

Skiers triggered D1-D1.5 wet loose on SE aspect at 10,000’.
There were also natural small wet loose slides today and yesterday. Long running, but narrow, in steep terrain. Typically initiated near rock outcrops.
Today was hotter than yesterday and the top of the snowpack got pretty wet before clouds built in the afternoon. Snow stayed dry on due north up high.
