Rain to the top of the T-bar today and likely a good bit higher. Maybe 10cm had accumulated at the top by ~12:30pm but it was thoroughly wet and switched back and forth between rain and snow the whole time we were out. Ski conditions were terrible - traverse across the slope, turn around, traverse to the other side bad. Bottom 100m of vert was basically pond-skimming. Heard some big sounds coming from the Valley of Doom, but didn't have enough viz to see anything other than some fresh debris below the steep stuff just up-valley from the switchback on the drive out.
