Quick report

Snow stability seemed solid. Every thing was locked up the entire day, boot penetration was minimal (never more than a couple inches) even after 2pm. Not a single natural or triggered roller ball all day despite full sun and 40F up near 7000'. Looks like during the rain event a large cornice came down on the east side of Hawkins. Still more massive cornice hangfire exists

Avalanche

Evidence of many previous D1-D2 avalanches on all aspects, likely failed during the rain, one caused by large cornice fall
