Wet snow remains the primary concern with more days of warm temperatures and poor refreezes throughout the week. Almost every south-facing slide path in Little Cottonwood Canyon seems to have already avalanched, some with the dust layer present on the bed surface. It will be interesting in the coming days to see if the dust layer plays a part in our wet cycle. Otherwise, pretty straightforward. We didn't see much evidence of roller balls or pinwheels today, but we also actively tried to avoid southerly facing terrain until our exit.

The wind-drifted snow seems to be less of an issue today. We didn't see any signs of cracking or collapsing, only a textured snow surface. I would guess these warm temperatures might weld things into place. The uppermost elevation wind zones and extreme terrain could still be suspect.
