Just wanted to share that a large group (13 skiers) skied in the Trimmer and Job's Sister area over the previous four days. This info is a little dated and we didn't observe anything tremendously noteworthy, but I thought it might be interesting since the area doesn't get skied too often.

The group skied the lookers left slide path on Trimmer on 1/28. Two or three small shallow (~6") wind slabs were triggered in the upper 100 feet closest to the peak. No other instabilities observed.

On 1/29, same group skied E facing slope below Trimmer proper, with no instabilities observed.

On Saturday 1/30 the largely treed slopes, including a distinct avi path, below the google marker on Job's Sister was skied many times by same group with no observed instabilities. 

There was significant obvious snow transport off the peaks of Job's Sister and Freel on 1/29 and 1/30. No observed past natural avis in the area.
