Ideal corn on SE aspects NTL at 11:00 a.m., SE aspects ATL around 12:30, S aspects NTL around noon, and southwest aspects BTL around 12:30. A pit on an east aspect produced moderate propagating results (ECTP18) below a 70 cm, 1F slab on the April 1 faceted crust (1.5mm rounding facets). . Triggered some large rollerballs/pinwheels on a SE aspect NTL around 12:45 p.m.

Avalanche

Numerous small wet loose avalanches from the past few days on E, S, W aspects. Wet loose activity expanded to NE aspects yesterday and today, mostly BTL with a few tiny ones N/ATL. A couple of recent long running wet loosies on Cinnamon were borderline D2s. A wet loose on Schuylkill Ridge triggered a fresh D1.5 slab. Adding a few previously undocumented old wet slabs from the March Meltdown.
