Weather

Warm, generally calm, clear skies in the morning with some showers developing in the afternoon.

Snowpack

The recent snow quickly got wet, even ATL, but the dust/crust layer below remained supportive.

Avalanche

Widespread loose wet cycle on steep southerlies near and above tree line. Nothing gouged down below the dust layer, but still a few were impressive and at least D1.5. I intentionally triggered multiple D1 loose wet slides on a S facing convexity ATL.
