Up to 10" sluffed easily on firm crusts; straightforward sluff management and nice riding conditions in terrain that didn't have old wet loose debris.

Older large wet debris pile, likely ran during last week's warmup around 5/12 or 5/13. Looked like a wet loose. Could have been several overlapping slides.
