solar aspects quickly picked up a lot of heat today. multiple sluffs seen which then gained enough energy to entrain H24 (15-25cm) below resulting in multiple D1-D2 seen on this tour.
intentionally triggered touchy windslabs on high (>9200ft) N to E aspects. one in steeper terrain >40* entrained H24 resulting in D2
CLR to BKN. very calm am, NW winds picked up from NW after 1500 but little deposition noted.
H24 - 20-25 . PS- 15-20.
