Quick report

Rollerballs and surface hoar at lower elevations. No wet slide activity observed. Cornice fall and large avalanche crown in a steep bowl ~6000’ (SE aspect) that likely failed during the last storm cycle. Firm crust <3/4” thick found either on the surface or buried <3” deep. No propagating cracks. Sun and wind affected snow at all elevations. Did not dig a snow pit.
