Observations
Lots of moisture in Alpental Valley. Light rain for most of the tour to top of snow lake. Avoided anything steep as multiple avalanches were seen and easily triggered. Saw start of glide avalanches on some slopes and snow was very heavy, easy to compress and sink in and tough to move in. Considerable day for sure
