Quick report
Based on our limited travels, we did not observe either avalanche problem (wind slab and wet loose) today. However, based on the intense heating and reported winds up at mid and upper elevations, we believe both problems were out there. Only "red flag" noted in our travels was the intense heating by mid-day, with water dripping from trees and our skins glopping up.

Snowpack
A good day for "healing". Generally stable snow noted in our travels. A quick snowpit (N/5700') showed ECTN results 15cm down and about 50 cm down. No other signs of instability noted.
