Quick report

Mid-morning Canyon lap. Boottop dry snow off the ridge that got heavy below 6000 feet, then wet a few hundred feet lower. By late morning, the recent snow <5000 feet on frontside was wet/ saturated. 

no cracking or other signs of instability in dry snow  

good riding in untracked dry and wet snow. Refrozen tracks, rollerballs, and tree bombs made for some punishing patches. 

Natural roller balls on steep SW-facing slopes ~5700'. Triggered rollerballs on steel ENE slopes roughly the same elevation.
