Weather

Sunny, warm, barely a lick of wind.

Snowpack

4-6” thick freeze was supportive all morning. Snow below was sometimes large grained and wet, sometimes large grained and dry. Lower elevation are pretty trap-door pretty quick with the sun and warm temps. Several collapses noted as it began to thaw.

Avalanche

Some older wet and dry slabs. Only recent looking activity came out of steep, rocky West facing, tho all we could see was the toe of a large debris pile.
