Quick report
Lots of wet loose debris on all south and west faces, and a good amount on other aspects as well. Above 4000' there was about 8" of new snow, not very well bonded to the old crust. We tried to get away from overhead south facing slopes early, but even by 10 am there were lots of melting stuff falling from rock faces above. Nothing that we saw set off any new slides though, except the one I set off myself.

Ski cut into the top of a steep (35-45°) slope and immediately set off a wet slide. The slide entrained a decent amount of snow and went down into the gully below while I continued my ski cut back onto a safer slope.
