Snowpack

spent the weekend in the longs peak/mt meeker cirque....climbed dreamweaver sunday morning. observations: saw 15-20 small sluff avalanches coming off mostly south/west aspects..especially off mount lady washington. on approach to dreamweaver couloir proper third member of our party heard a "whoomph" and saw minor cracking. Snowpack definitely beginning to resemble spring/summer conditions as we saw a lot of melting just through the weekend. Huge cornice still present on top of lambs slide. Broadway was also shedding all weekend. Hope this helps
