Observations

SE face off Bullion peak had 3-5 inches of new wet snow on top of a crust from recent weekend storm snow. Skinning on a convexity of windloaded area near the ridge caused a small wet slide to occur. It didn’t carry pass 6 feet, but it was still early (10am). Throughout the day the sun came in and out and I suspect the chances for a wet slide to carry longer would be more probable.

North facing slopes did not have such a wet slab, snow was much lighter and nicer to ski. Towards the afternoon groppel storm came in.
