Delayed onset of hot, spring weather caused a widespread "shed" cycle as expected. This was most pronounced in the Sawtooths with its plethora of steep, rocky terrain and less dramatic in the Banner area. Most wet loose were small but I saw one large one where the terrain is conducive to producing large avalanches. I also observed a fair bit of rollerballing from upper elevation N facing terrain.
