Snowpack
Moisture on southerly aspects was anywhere from 2" deep up to a foot deep. Some minor rollerballs and pinwheels observed, not much for loose wet action though.
Avalanche
About 95% of avalanche terrain ran as 2-3 feet deep soft slabs during the last cycle on the paths we observed from NW to NE aspects, mostly D2 to D2.5's, a few D3's. All elevations. A decent number of large slab avalanches on East aspects as well and one large slab on a Southeast aspect ATL. All of these slides were old, from the last cycle. Yesterday (Monday), we observed a skier triggered slab, 2 feet deep, on an ENE aspect near treeline, on a relatively small feature. SS-ASu-R2-D1.5-O
