Observations

Generally stable snow in the areas we traveled (S, SW aspects on Herman, NE on Mazama dome and Table). Wind slabs were not too reactive and mostly avoidable. We saw skier triggered slabs to size 1.5 in blueberry chute and E Gully. Wet loose to 1.5 but not super widespread. Morning was still cloudy with snow showers, switched to sun midday.
