Quick report

I went avalanche hunting from afar and found them. I saw one distant large slab avalanche, likely wet from over the weekend. Debris piles were visible on many peaks. Glide cracks were visible on smooth, rocky surfaces. I suspect much of the avalanche and glide activity occurred over the weekend with the rain and warm temperatures. 

There was a notable lack of snow in the mountains, with many mountainsides bare, and roads that had snow on them a week ago were now snow-free. I was able to drive up to over 2000ft easily.
