Quick report

Clear skies and light winds. Measured HS 160 at 6800'. We skied the north facing slope that drains down to Red Meadow Lake. Sporty on the ridge with facets around shallow rocks. The main run was a bit crusty and wind affected. On second trip up there was water just pouring off the west side of trees at 6600' around 3pm. Unsure how warm it was but snow around base of trees was getting a lot of moisture.

Saw what looked like a wet slab that broke to ground low down on south side of Link. We were a long way away so a bit hard to tell for sure what happened.
