Quick report
In the morning snow was cold on most aspects with an intermediate crust in some areas which made for challenging skiing. Significant wind texture was observed below mount Annette. Below the summit of Ann there was some wind affected snow that seemed poorly bonded to underlying layers, but we did not observe any continous slides. As clouds rolled in, all aspects we traveled on became pretty manky, including some aspects we expected to be well preserved. Tree bombs were frequent and large when sun hit forested slopes. We only found isolated patches of well-preserved snow in the Bagley Basin near the Lake Ann TH around sunset.

Triggered a very chunky wet loose avalanche dropping into Bagley Basin just before sunset. Likely <=D1 in size but carried a lot of speed.
