Most of the second half of the High T slid, wet loose. There were probably 5 or 6 wet slides that ran 400-500 feet. Either they ran naturally or maybe someone (like the West Rustler victim) was skiing the High T and caused them all to run. Bed surface was brown which maybe indicates a dust element to the bed.
Stark and noticeable greenhousing today. Around 3:30 PM the air temp was supposed to be 30* ish, but it felt like 55. The snow is very wet, even at the highest elevations.
Skinning on a NW slope, it was evident that the snow was not well-bonded to the ice/dust surface underneath. Slides only looked to be new snow, so maybe 4-5" deep.
