Quick report

On our short tour of Titus Ridge, we found 5 to 10 cm of settling new snow on top of crusts and wet unconsolidated snow. In and out sunshine transitioned to mostly overcast around 2 PM with light snow flurries. A 1 cm thick temperature crust quickly formed on the surface of the new snow above 9000 feet after the sun tucked behind the clouds. Triggering roller balls was easy on steep SW - S - SE - E aspects.

Observed a handful of natural loose avalanches on Saviers Peak during the drive up.
