Quick report
Attempted to ski East couloir off kettle peak. Found large wet slide off the lower east face of kettle that carried some trees down into little slide canyon. Encountered very wet snow with essentially no refreeze on the apron up to ~10000k even before it got any sun. Dug several 2’ deep hand pits a found fully unsupportive snow with no evidence of even superficial refreeze. Bailed for wet slide concern.
