Quick report

It was mostly a weather station fixing day this morning, but I was able to ski around a bit with a spotting scope and get a feel for conditions post-AR. Rain runnels and avalanche debris littered the landscape around Crystal and across the street in the park.  One avalanche in Powder Bowl gauged down to dirt on an E aspect. The breakable crust did not break down throughout the morning and had mostly dry snow under it in many of the places I looked. Rain line is estimated in the 6500-7000' elevation range.

Snowpack

A breakable surface crust was observed  throughout much of the terrain. It did not break down in the sunshine much, if at all, by 1pm.

Avalanche

Widespread natural and explosive triggered wet avalanches from this past weekend's atmospheric river. Natural avalanches in MORA spotted in the Sourdough Range and Goat Mountain area. Naturals spotted near Dogleg Chute, Superbowl, and Bear Gap as well.
