Yellowstone Ski Tours

While setting the skin track, I had about 25 collapses. Almost all of the snow between 9,300'-10,000' that I touched or was connected to was collapsing and cracking. On the 2nd time up the skin track, only 1 collapse.

Fresh wolf tracks at 8300' (relatively supportable snowpack- considering all of the facets).

Wind gusts to 59mph last night (at Lulu Pass), left a thin wind crust and lots of pine needles on most slopes.

Localized collapsing on different aspects during approach ski.

Noted one recent, nearby slab avalanche. A NE aspect around 10,000'. Photo attached. Avalanche was in a heavily wind affected area, snowpit location was wind sheltered.
