Notes
As we rode into Lionhead we saw many slides that either ran naturally or from cornice falls (separate avalanche log record). Most of the slides happened Fri or Sat. Winds are blowing strong at all aspects and elevations. Slopes are being loaded further and we triggered a small slide (video) from 50 feet away (aka remotely triggered). This is a serious sign of instability and we were careful to not get on or underneath avalanche terrain.
