Observations

Saw a lot of avalanche debris on the southern slopes of Union Peak, assuming these ran on Tuesday/Wednesday. Around noon I got up to around 5000 ft, and started seeing some rollerballs coming down as I was walking, which turned me around. On the plus side, the snow was pretty good, like a slushy spring corn. I tried to ski a N/NW facing aspect on Lichtenberg, but a pretty horrendous crust told me it wasn't worth it.
