In Beehive with AAI Pro 1. Storm snow measured at over 30 cm, roughly double what was reported at Big Sky/YC. 5% density. Wind Slabs slowly building from L to M N winds, both WS and Loose Dry touchy on all slopes steeper than 35 with a MFcr as the interface - basically everything W, S, E aspects below 9500 (probably above too but we didn't go that high). One skier triggered wind slab observed low in the "tyler's" slide path on a SW aspect, 8700 ft, 35 deg, SS-ASu-R1/D1-I. No evidence of active persistent slab, 11x pits @ 8500 SE, HS 170, ECTX for all.
