Quick report

We did a MORA patrol. There was about 10 cm of wet snow on pencil to knife hard pack. Snow pack was 50cm deep on the shoulder below pan face. The day warmed and we saw some ice fall triggering an avalanche on the Nisqually glacier. In the afternoon wind picked up and things cooled off leaving a crust which was breakable but inconsequential to skiing when we left around 330.
