Quick report

Today was hot despite cloud cover and being sandwiched by N and S winds. We found hot windboard, hot pow, and some slushy mashed potatoes on the S/SE face of mini Morrison. The slushy turns were the best and the rest were increasingly sticky. Rollerballs started around 930 with small fans from the craggy features once gaining the first plateau above the lake. Snow is no longer continuous to the summit, but goes most of the way to the col and summit. Snow depth looked to be about a foot or so while descending this aspect. From near the summit, I spotted several crowns on the E and N face of Morrison, see photo. I didn't see anything in the pinner or the S face of Bloody.
