Loose wet instability on Rubicon Peak.

Rapid warming conditions and signs of loose wet instability in the form of human triggered roller balls present in sun exposed areas on all aspects by 10 am. These roller balls were easy to create up to the highpoint of travel below the summit pinnacle at 9,040'. Loose wet avalanches involving the top 4 to 6 inches of the snowpack (the recent storm snow) were easy to skier trigger on all test slopes steeper than about 35 degrees on N-NE-E aspects at all elevations traveled from 10:30 am onwards.
