Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions:

Toured on slide mountain above the campground this morning. Conditions were a mix of winter snow on North aspects and sun crusts at lower elevations. No signs of instability noted on the north aspects where we skied. By 1pm we noticed several natural point releases across the road on south and southeast aspects. Several on mt rose, and one on fireplug.

S and SE aspects on Mt. Rose proper as seen from Slide Mtn.
