Quick report
HS at 9000' NNE facing was 150cm with the DJL PWL 60cm down as seen in the photo above. These facets were damp, small and rounding and did not react to any testing. Still, in some areas, I wonder if it may be possible for a larger trigger (cornice or loose wet) to crow-bar out a slab down to these facets in steep terrain as the facets become weakened...and with a softening slab. This would be quite distinct from the free-water style of wet slab. Perhaps an outlier -

- <p>Continuing to anticipate wet loose and wet slab avalanches. Some wet loose (a day or three old) on Scott Peak(Hill) - east facing at 9700' skier triggered (size 1.5 wet loose) and Pinecone 9400 East facing size 1 natural from yesterday. Photos below. </p>
Rollerballs on polar aspects by midday; west was supportable still by mid-afternoon.
