Weather

overcast, scattered rain and snow showers. warm temps, light west winds

Snowpack

Quite warm, unconsolidated snow, punchy. melt water continues to advance, but quite variable, from full depth in shallower areas to 6-10" in others. Avalanches

Avalanche

Several large wet loose avalanches gouging down to ground below E-facing cliff bands, BTL.. Entrained quite a bit of snow, pushing size 2 range. not quite wet slab, but did propagate horizontally a bit more than the classic triangular shaped wet loose activity.
