Quick report

Collapsing
isolated

4-6” new snow that was loosely laying on top of older layers. Snow at higher elevations was drier and very skiable. Saw moderate signs of wind affected snow at higher elevations, but did not experience many wind gusts at the passes or when crossing snow lake. Skiing at the top of Bryant was dry and stable, though lower elevations became very wet and a lot easier to trigger during the descent. Triggered a small, slow 6-8” wet loose slide in a small east facing gully getting back to Source Lake at around 3,200’ that ran a short distance, but knocked me off of my feet.
