Lots of size 1, wet loose avalanches on the south west facing corridor on the way to Lazy Boy. All Propagated in shallow rocky areas under cliff line. Top of the Boulder field had size 1.5 wet loose avalanche. We also stepped on a few large unsupported pillows. Seems to be two seperate layers forming. Each 10-15cm deep. Each supported by a layer of weak sugary crystals. Broke away together but separated soon after they slid. Rapid warming throughout Friday night into Saturday. Riding was heavy and wet. We rode mellow lines down lazy boy. We avoided highest alpine as it was heavily wind affected.
