Consistent with observations throughout the day. Small slab avalanche breaking at and within the saturated old snow. Terrain quickly mellowed out and slow moving slab stopped after a short slog.
S-1 wet precip all afternoon. Socked in clouds obscuring the sky. Some greenhousing/ just warm ambient air keeping things nice and soggy. Lots of wet loose and pinwheels.
