Some loose wet on steep rocky solar faces, but most steep solar aspects aren't holding much snow anymore. Many steep northerly aspects also appear to have gone through an avalanche cycle before the recent snow on Wednesday. Saw one crown that appeared to be ~20-30cm deep and ~100m wide on a steep cliff. No evidence of avy activity on any other slopes.
