Comments
Lots of hard snow on top, the 35+ cms they got on Thursday has gotten down to about half that, was soft until it was disturbed, then got heavy and sticky. Got really warm around noon, started to hear lots of avalanche activity as well as seeing them on slopes adjacent. Very rapid rise of temp and snow disappeared quick from low level trail up into sub alpine zone.
