Quick report

Wet slide occurred as I rolled over a convexity. Low energy, slow moving. It would have been a lot more hazardous if it propagated further or I was above more complex terrain. Avalanche occurred @12:30pm

Snowpack

I never dug a pit but the snowpack felt was almost certainly isothermal.

Avalanche

Wet slide. Slid on top of the rain crust from days prior. Crown was 3in (presumably the fresh snow overnight). Width was 10 at crown 25ft at toe. Toe was ~100ft from crown. Debris ~1-1.5ft deep. Skier triggered.
