Observations
After 9:30 am started seeing some very small point releases on SE aspects. At 10 am saw three larger D1 wet looses coming from around the false summit. Someone got entrenched in one and was knocked over and buried to their waist but able to free themselves safely. A pre 10 am summit would’ve been a good idea today, upper slopes warmed up very fast. Mid mountain was in better condition due to being shaded. Lower was a bit gloopy.
