Two large glide/wet loose observed in source lake area, both from Saturday 3/4.
More smaller glide/wet loose visible throughout our tour in the area.

Conditions today were soft and rather wet. Boot penetration was knee to thigh deep in some areas.
Around 11:00 we heard a loud noise and avalanche activity as we were traveling up pineapple basin/great Scott. Other observers have mentioned the same. Closer to Bryant col/tooth. Couldn’t see any of the activity due to low vis.
