Observations
Traveled the typical touring route on Ruby. Observed rollerballs growing in size and traveling further over the course of the morning, especially as the sun broke through the clouds towards noon. Snow was heavy and wet from the beginning of the day onward. On the descent, we tried to find as much low-angle terrain as possible until we reached relatively more stable snow closer to 4000ft.
