Holy moly, warm morning. 37 degrees at Dry Gulch parking at 6am, but surprisingly most snow surfaces seemed to freeze pretty well. East through south unsheltered aspects were fully corn and thawing significantly by 8am. On the flip side there were still small pockets of soft snow in the trees. Observed many natural wet slides in the basin that ran recently, including one looker’s left of Boomerang that ran maybe 600 vertical feet. Penetrated up to 6” while booting SE aspects above 12k. Skied at ~9:45. Aspects that got first light felt very soft, but we did not trigger any wet slides. Cloud cover began forming around noon and wind picked up significantly.
