Comments
We decided to go explore Limber Pine area, started a little late for the temps and in the choke of Little Pine East had some loose wet snow roll down past us for about a minute and decided to call it quits from there. I was debating whether to post this as an observation or an avalanche but there were also numerous point releases and and roller balls from yesterday as well. Snowpack felt really stable at lower elevations and the apron was in great corn condition when we skied out. Just watch out for warming as has already been noted in a couple of reports from the previous week.
