Avalanche: Turnagain

Skinned back to back to the Library in flat light, picked our objective couloir and skinned/booted up the next chute back following partially filled in tracks from Saturday. In lower half of ascent couloir found stiff sluff/spindrift debris, with small pockets of un-reactive fresh wind slab 1-3 inches thick near the edges of the chute that disappeared as we climbed higher. Light but continuous spindrift continued to roll down the couloir throughout our ascent. Upon reaching the ridgeline, we estimated the breeze to be 5-10 mph with few gusts to 15, and were engulfed in a brief snow squall while traversing over to our chosen line. Snow in the descent couloir was stiff but soft, having been skied the day before, and sluffed enough to keep our attention. Let guard down upon exiting the couloir and popped a small D1 soft slab out of an obvious pocket of wind deposition. Good reminder for us that just because the objective line was safe and completed, we were still in avalanche terrain and needed to stay on our toes and pay attention! Remainder of the apron skied great, quiet day in the Library, seems everyone got their fill on Sat.
