Quick report

Wet avalanches, snow was slushy at all elevations. Saw that many smaller cornices had failed, gave the large ones wide berth. Rollerball easy to set off and could grow quite large quickly, was hit by one set off by the party but no injury.

Avalanche

Natural wet avalanche and cornice failures noticed on many slopes of all aspects around. Heard a large avalanche we could not see that sounded like it was over towards the monte cristos
