Quick report

Very cold start to the morning, quickly got warm in the sun, observed almost no wind except an occasional light gust, until it picked up around 1pm. By 2:30-3pm it was quite windy (at Lake Mary and the lakes basin parking lot). Some signs of instability. A few dry loose sluffs which had been partially reburied, likely occurred during the storm on Monday. A few point release wet loose/roller balls, likely from warming on Tuesday. Also saw 2 very small puffs of powder fall from blue crag (which we gave a wide berth). One small wind slab avalanche on the slope lookers right of Crag Couloir. E aspect, 10,500'.
