Unexpected wet activity made for a quick end to quick after-work couloir mission. This morning I had about 1" of new on the storm board at the house on capital hill at 4400', which transitioned to rain around 08:15. Beginning my tour at 13:00 around 5500' on a N facing slope, surface snow was clearly damp and had no new accumulation. Around 6000' about 1" of new snow sat atop the old but was likewise saturated and heavy.

I found wet debris obliterating tracks from the day prior at the entrance to the couloir of interest and pulled the plug. D1 in size, suspect wet sluffing from the slabs above the couloir. Sluffs on visible faces were just 2-4" deep, but in this terrain trap could clearly pile up. Not an expected finding for today. Possibly due to daytime warming rather than morning rain as morning reports from nearby terrain were of good snow conditions.
