Skinned up to Blackmore 01/08 to ski the East shoulder. Found that it had not snowed as much as it had in town the night before. Possibly 2-3” at lower elevations and 3-4” at higher elevations. There was some isolated wind loading in the basin at lower elevations and more widespread loading near the ridge tops. Did not experience any collapsing but did notice a few natural avalanches and one skier triggered avalanche near of the top of Blackmore. Looked as though it was a ski cut that popped the slab. Skied a low angle, non-wind loaded slope with a few lovely turns before smoking plenty of rocks on the way down the trail.
