Quick report

Not a day to linger below cornices and hanging snow! Crust broke down quickly in the morning. Tons of wet loose activity, including the rather large avalanche that ran over the skinner and many ski tracks. Snow was absolute wet mush on all but high elevation north facing slopes. Very easy to cut wet loose slides on steep slopes.

Pretty impressive wet loose that released sometime midday from hanging snow above the cliffs above the chair peak approach/deproach. Covered the skin track and numerous ski tracks.
