Observations
We skied multiple lines off of bullion peak, finding soft, dry snow on northern aspects above ~5400 ft. We did not find any wind slabs or any evidence of instability on these aspects. South aspects were getting heated up very quickly and we saw some small wet loose avalanches on steep S facing rocky terrain from a distance. Overall a great day out!
