Performed a ski cut after seeing signs of instability in a rapidly warming snowpack after ascending the ridge below temple and twin couloirs. Expecting wet loose activity, we were surprised to see a distinct wet slab propogate ~70 feet down the slope below. Fairly slow moving, but still cause for concern. To state the obvious, be wary of steep terrain as the sun heats up the snowpack.
