Looks like the wind and precipitation from last week increased avalanche risk on the upper mountain. Most guides have been reluctant to venture up above 1200'. Recently, however, it's been drier so that top layer of garbage should be either melting or making its way downhill (as I predicted earlier). Hopefully things stay nice and dry through the next two weeks.
