It just keeps coming and it don’t stop coming! Warm and wet in the Calzon, raining at the parking lot but snow above 1200m. All day near 0, snow in the cutblocks is about 215 cm on average, and DEEP. The Dec crust seems to be down about 80 cm but isn’t very obvious, snow is fairly right side up but foot penetration on average is 100 cm. We had to work to get around on low angle terrain. Observed lots of roller balls and small roadside wet loose and wet slab avalanches valley bottom and roadside.
