Quick report

Just as predicted, with warmer daytime temps (maxed at 41F) we are starting to see wet loose easefully slip across the harder wind pack below. All slides were small but consistent throughout descent of e slope. Good to keep in mind for backcountry travel more snow-laden areas. Wet loose sluffing of the upper layer of the snow resulting in mini avalanches on descent.

Avalanche

Localized avalanches on descent during warmest part of the day, along e-facing aspect, steep slope, starting as high as 9200 ft
