Quick report

We could still see crowns and debris from the avalanche cycle that occurred 2.5 weeks ago. We saw debris from 2 newer size 1.5 wet loose avalanches. These likely occurred 4 or 5 days ago in the initial warm-up after last week's storm. One was on a NE aspect, and one was on a SE aspect, both were around 9500 feet. We also saw extensive rollerballing from this cycle. The snow seems to have gone through multiple freeze-thaw cycles. The exception is highest elevation northerlies, where a thin melt-freeze crust overlaid dry snow.
