Observations
Pretty basic day in the Wells Summit area for the Northside Riders fun run.
Saw some point release small sluffs, all aspects. Mid morning had good sun, so there was some pinwheel activity, primarily on south aspects.
No real instability clues observed. Fresh wind loading on west slopes from yesterday's east wind. Some of the gullys and draws had cross loading.
Most hills still had cornicing on the east aspects from the prevailing winds.
North of wells near the top had 6 inches of new from last night. Most of the rest of the area was 3-5....
Good snow, fun riding
