Quick report

Skinned up from Floating Island Lake around 8am towards Cathedral bowl. Skinning was pretty supportable, but snow was warming rapidly. I booted up the couloir lookers right of Cathedral bowl proper, and that was supportable for the most part, but I did get boot high penetration in some steps. Dropped around 9:30 and it was nice corn. Soft surface snow, but still supportable and nothing sliding.

Many wet slides in Cathedral bowl area. Must have happened in the past couple days. One of them large enough to bury someone.
