Observations
Traveled to Ruby's summit early morning to early afternoon. Near and Above Treeline up until the summit (7400') snow was wet and heavy (cascade concrete) and towards mid elevations, mid day was easy to trigger small loose wet slides. All were small and localized to the new snow that fell the day before. New snow was sitting on top of wet snow. Enough snow to skin started at ~3400'. Light snow showers until ~nonn, then overcast with some moments of sun coming through the clouds. Have not measured the air temperature, but air felt warmish.
