Instability Comment
<p>Lots of solar in Primrose Cirque, prompting two of the Old Reliable paths to spit up size 1-2 wet loose debris by mid-morning (NE chute of Elk Point and East facing Robert's Horn). Snow became punchy midday with localized collapsing of the 2-3" mf crust onto loose wet grain clusters below (photos). Collapsing on east facing at 9000'.</p> <p>Mostly wet loose noted across Timp from both the west side driving in as well as in the Aspen Grove area; very few wet slabs noted. </p>

Marginal refreeze with snow surfaces softening on solars by mid-morning and shaded slopes by midday/early afternoon.
