Quick report

MTB in from the 180, skinned up the Aubineau trail into the canyon. The trail was still frozen with only two dirt crossings in the morning, but with many more by the afternoon with very warm snow. No signs of instability. Surprisingly no new rollerballs yet. Everything above 11,250 was wind packed or scoured. There was evidence of possible past avalanches (More thank a week old) in both Sinagua, and Anasazi. I descended Sinagua at 2:00 pm from 12,200' on very hard wind packed snow which got warm and corny bellow 11,000'.
