Observations

Traveled on multiple aspects thoughtout the day, found mid thigh deep new snow at upper elevations and knee deep near the trailhead. Sun affected areas were readily warming upper 5-10cm. Steep solar slopes had tree bombs triggering smaller loose wet slides on steep slopes, all regular producers.
