Notes
2/10/23: Our group did a big loop - Daisy- wolverine- goose - sheep -lulu. Saw minimal wind transport except on high points ( see photo). After looking all day saw an R1D2 slide (see 2nd photo) on a ENE slope above 10,000' south of Lulu pass, unknown trigger, though the whole area around the slide had cornice growth. We observed a lot of tracks highmarking into windloaded alpine slopes but saw no rider triggered avalanches.
