Photo below of very minor roller balls on an East aspect but then clouds came back and warming on East aspects stopped.
First photo: East aspect starting to warm at 11:00 am. Second Photo: Close up of why we call these rollerballs/pinwheels. Seeing more and more of these rolling down hill indicates the snow is warming and wet loose slides may start happening.
Clouds lingered over LCC for much of the day and limited wet loos avalanche activity.
The new snow on a West aspect was getting wet and skiing conditions deteriorated quickly.
