<p>Natural wet sloughs on dusty old melt/freeze crust on steeper slopes and most aspects. Most appeared to initiate near exposed rocks. Probably from prior day. Rollerballing while skiing on NE aspect a around 11:30 AM. It's too hot out there for early May. </p>

Sloughs on Red Baldy tell the tale. Likely from previous day.
