Raining at trailhead. Mix rain/snow on trail to RH hut. Snowing at RH hut and beyond. Precip got heavier as morning went on and FL was visibly rising throughout the morning. We dug a pit. Upper snowpack is upside down. Storm slabs were reactive, but didn't seem to slide too easily. We triggered a couple small wet loose while skiing dense trees. Tree bombs were quite violent, wear your helmet when skinning in the trees! We had fun making mellow turns. The way out felt like sliding down a pool slide with no water.
