Observations
Heading up from the Source Lake Basin we saw numerous signs of small slab avalanches from the 12/20 storm but noticed no recent signs of instability. There was thin crust from the freezing rain that covered all aspects at all elevations from the lot 4 parking lot to Pineapple Pass but still skied ok. From Pineapple ridge we saw a large wet loose go and signs of other small wet avalanches along the ridge where it was getting direct sunlight.
