Wet loose avalanches up to size two witnessed on direct south facing thin rocky slopes across the knee run. bootpacking to gain Carmacks and or knee is made more difficult due to facets from the lower snow year and longer dryspell . South and east aspects corned up by 1pm and got wet by 2pm. Lower snowpack is making some ascents and descent slightly more difficult this year. Creek exit seems to be melting out fast. Slight temperature crust on the NE face of the knee run, NW held powder about 15-30 cms. Some wind affect lower down from north winds. Amazing day out there!
