There was an avalanche cycle in Rogers Pass today. Apparently
Frequent Flyer hit the valley and put 2 m of debris on the Connaught
trail. There were other avalanches running in that valley today too.

Plenty of avalanches size 1-2 in open areas below treeline in the
highway corridor.

We skied the Corbin area and saw twitchy soft slabs running on
crusts, triggering easily in open areas below treeline. 30-40 cm
deep, size 1-1.5 but not propagating very far. Extensive cracking
around our skis. In the thicker trees there was no crust and fewer
signs of instability, good skiing.
