Weather: Scattered to broken cloud cover. Mild temps
Snowpack: skier triggered a few very small facet sloughs in steep terrain. Otherwise no avalanche problems found. Ski pen around 5cm on 99% of slopes traveled. Some snow surfaces were a form of sun/temperature/wind/rain very soft crust, over 4f snow below, while others were just weak near surface facets over similar snowpack structure below. HS dropping, in the 70-80cm range.
No new avalanche observations looking around the range form the Gothic road area. Just brown snow problems.
