NE Facing Slopes Below Pulpit Peak

Temps of -5 at road at 7:00am. Steady rise to +2 at 2200m by 9:30am. Surface snow had become moist prior to skiing out. It was definitely the day to get out early and be done early. Evidence of several loose wet avalanches to sz 1.5 and two notable persistent slab avalanches (sz 2.5?) in the area on S/SW aspects. Persistent slab avalanches likely triggered by cornice fall in areas with a shallow snowpack. Loose wet activity had begun on east facing slopes of Pulpit Peak around 10:00.
