Rain and Wet Snow on Mt. Judah

Light rain was falling up to the summit of Judah at 8200 ft. Looking out at the surrounding area, I could see rain falling in other places along the Sierra Crest and east of the Crest towards the Carson Range as well.  Deep wet snow existed on all aspects and elevations of Mt. Judah by noon. On N and NE aspects boot-top deep wet snow existed and on E-SE aspects almost knee deep wet snow existed. The snow was still barely ski supportable and ski cuts on steep test slopes did not trigger any large loose wet instabilities only small roller balls.

Several large cracks existed along the Judah ridge and along Wildflower ridge where the cornices are pulling away from the slope.
