I spent the day ski touring on E facing slopes above Hwy 93N today. A beautiful day with broken skies and sun and quite a lot of wind. Sheltered locations provided great skiing, open slopes were wind affected, and windward / West facing slopes were scoured. I saw a few recent size 1-2 slab avalanches (<24 hrs) out of steep alpine wind-loaded terrain.
