Quick report

Observed large (upwards of 3 foot diameter) pinwheels on all aspects while touring from Incline Peak to Relay Peak along the ridge that follows the TRT between the two peaks. Our skis were sinking in up to 4-5inches in some areas along the tour, more so on the east aspects. Some southern aspects had the remnants of a zipper crust on them and were firmer.

At about 2pm on the east face of Incline Peak off of the ridge to skier's right of the northeast bowl. Spotted a previous wet loose caused by a skier earlier in the day. After ensuring no one was in the run-out area, initiated a D1 sized wet loose with a ski cut.
