Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

Today we went out Owl creek and up the north ridge line to an elevation of about 7,500 ft. The south slopes has a crust layer with light dusting of snow on top. the weather was intermittent cloud cover with periods of light snow and periods of sun and winds were light out of the SW. The snow on the northern aspect slopes did not have any crust layer on top. We stuck to slopes that were less than 35 degree slope angle. We did see some roller balls that fell from exposed rocks on both the north and south aspects that looked like the released on the last sunny day. No avalanches were seen.
