Made a few runs in the morning and exited before things got too wet and sticky. Daytime heating started effecting the snow surface on north aspects around 11:15am. All aspects damp below 9500'. Suspect high steep north stayed dry.

Snow layering seemed well behaved with no significant instability noted. Lots of steep lines in Wolverine Cirque dropped without incident. Manageable surface sluffing was the only thing noteworthy. Seemed like things didn't heat quite enough to initiate wet activity.

Couple of inches of LARGE stellars, very low density prior to daytime heating.
