Rise in temps overnight accompanied with some VERY strong winds from the south. Woke up on Sunday to wet fog and potatoes for breakfast. Temps seemed to continue to climb. A number of naturals observed, mostly on the new snow but one looked to be down to the prior storm cycles layer (40cm).
Snowpack
CTE 5 @ 15cm, cth 5 @ 40cm. Cth 13 @ 46cm. Did a cheapo-rutchblock test (2 cut sides) top storm layer slid first jump, 40 and 46cm layers went on 3rd jump.
Avalanche
Lots of naturals visible in the fog, likely from the recent cycles, windy night, and warming temps.
