Quick Observation
We were in the backcountry from Friday- Sunday. We saw some wet loose avalanches on Friday, that likely were from earlier that day or Thursday. They were mostly on steep, sunny terrain. There was ~ 10-15 cm of soft snow above a crust that was pretty widespread across all elevations and aspects. Wind effect was pretty minimal, with just a thin wind skin in some alpine areas but mostly soft in the alpine.
