Quick report

Snow overall is not quite transitioned to spring, but getting there. Sustained 40mph winds on the summit, but dead calm on the kautz. Deep mush below 9k.

Avalanche

Only significant avalanches were spotted on the east aspect at the bottom of the turtle. These wet slabs likely ripped last weekend. They wrapped entire terrain features in the bowl and the crowns were at least a foot deep. We skied the bed surface and triggered more small wet slabs even there.
