Quick report

Old patchy snow below 3500'. Boot supportable snow to around 4500'. Fresh 6-12' above 5000'. Wind was in the process of loading east aspects. Cuts on steep rollovers were unreactive. Isolated pockets had cracks propagating no more than 1 foot in top 2 inches of snow. Human triggered roller balls on south aspects started around noon, none noted to roll naturally. Lots of old wet slide avy debris on aspects NE through SW hard to say age (was covered in 6 inches of free snow). Only one small realease witnessed all day, on Deadhorse peak at 6700' on steep rocky terrain. Snow on most aspects except SE-S stayed pretty dry all day above 5k'. Most fresh snow encountered was well mixed with a lot of Graupel, no distinct inner layers within new snow, seemed well bonded.
