We noted a variety of snow surfaces today. North aspects held cool powder and rode well, though we continued to stay out of avalanche terrain on the dark side. South aspects up to 10500 were damp and producing wet avalanches. These were characterized by point releases from cliff bands and exposed rocks in steep terrain. One notable slide pictured below occurred sometime between 11a and 2p. Though it didn't hit the skin track it could pack a punch and avalanches like these should not be ruled out with warm temps and direct sun even when they are not our primary avalanche problem. Beware of what is above and below you! These damp surfaces will freeze overnight leaving a new crust to potentially deal with.
