- <p>Very warm day and witness several Wet Loose avalanches on steep slopes (Dresden Face, NE face of Pfeifferhorn) </p>
Small Wet Loose avalanche around 11:30 off the NE face of the Pfeifferhorn.
With the current melt freeze cycle and as long as temps cool off at night. I would expect conditions on the spring mountaineering objectives to stay good for alittle while. Start early - End early (before the heat comes on!) Below show good cramponing conditions on the North Ridge.
