Quick report
There was a refreeze overnight but it wasn't as solid at lower elevations. When we skied down from 8,400' at 11:30AM it was already feeling warm at the top so we knew down below the snow was getting cooked. By the time we made it to just above Cascade Pass at noon the snow was heavy and sloppy. We skied one by one across the slopes and the first person down a ~30 degree slope triggered a slow moving wet loose avalanche that traveled a few hundred feet down. The second and third skiers followed one by one but did not trigger any additional slides.

At noon on Saturday, 4/26 we were skiing down to Cascade Pass when the first skier in our group triggered a small wet loose avy on a steep south facing slope.
