Quick report

Noticed on the drive up, as well as during my circuit around the bowl up and around the mine: numerous loose snow avalanches at all aspects except western aspects. The corn was perfect on low angle terrain, albeit softening as the day progressed. Finished up around 1pm and noticed multiple parties getting started at the peak heat of the day. Saw onne party trigger a release from a ski cut on a small slope parallel to the parking lot, on the north side. I know a lot are going after that spring corn, but man, stay off the warm stuff!
