Notes

We rode to Round Lake, Goose Lake wilderness boundary and Lulu Pass. We saw a coulpe of small and very steep avalanches that released in the new snow. We dug 3 pits and got ECTX or ECTN28 on the new/old snow interface 2-3 feet under the surface. We were glad to not find propogation. Wind ramped up during the morning creating white-out conditions at time. At Lulu Pass we went to investigate wind slabs and got a collapse (whumf) when we stepped on it. Wind-loaded slopes are dangerous right now. Slopes ae actively loading and sensitive to triggering.
