Quick report

We skied the classic traverse to bring in meteorological spring, and it certainly felt like it. We saw numerous avalanches, as listed below, and noticed everything from rain runnels to glide cracks to sagging cornices in the snowpack. A bit of cooling and snow could lock things back up for a while, but the wet loose factory was seemingly moving units today and this past week with a saturated upper snowpack on south. North holds cold snow, but also weak snow from last Monday, where there's a poor bond to the AR snowpack.

Today we were just a couple hot dudes skiing hot mank, and observing the carnage of the hot week. We saw many wet loose on solars, persistent and wind slabs on polars, and honestly, after a quick dig, don't trust high north in the upper 6500' to 7000' range.
