Quick report

Poked around N aspects of Tincan to look for some wintry snow. Surface conditions consisted of supportable crust on all slopes except northerlies above 2700’. New snow was fairly dry from 3800’ to 3500’ off of proper, before becoming moist towards rain line which was at 2500’. We scoped a lot of recent D2-3 glide avalanches on all slopes except northerlies. Natural wet loose activity was occurring everywhere except the highest northerlies.
