Seemed like the theme of the day was long running sluffs on the density inversion about 3 inches down, but they were becoming less reactive by the time I exited at 4:30pm. Some of the sluffs were quite large, ran fairly fast and had enough punch to knock you down and take you for a ride in steep confined terrain. They seemed fairly manageable with ski cuts, cut the slope, let the sluff run its course then ski, nothing too complicated just common sense. I was getting some cracking on the slightly wind affected top of Cardiac Ridge but the wind stiffened snow was mostly relegated to the high ridge line. I would think the sluffing will be minimal tomorrow, the snow settled out quite a bit today with the warm temperatures and somewhat humid air.

I'm thinking the main avalanche concern tomorrow will be wet activity, with full sun and fairly warm temperatures and frozen hard bed surfaces on the high south facing things might become active on the south end of the compass.
