Quick report
Road to the trailhead is patchy, lots of skis-on-skis-off transitions. Lots of previous wet loose activity and new slides mostly seen on SE aspects around 11am-1pm Wineglass couloir had avy debris at its base from the slope/chute to the looker's right of it. Conditions in the couloir varied from icy, breakable crust, stiff windboard, sastrugi, and in the top 3rd coated with at most an inch of new snow. Boot crampons were very nice for lower section, and ski crampons felt necessary for the upper. Probably could have booted the whole way. Descended at 12:30, and the majority of the couloir was still firm.

Numerous wet loose slides in the McGee Creek chutes, presumably from the past few days. Saw a few large wet loose slides on Baldwin and Aggie. Various chutes on Aggie kept sliding and overlapping with each other over the course of an hour or two.
