Heavy and wet snow near Echo Lake

Wet and heavy snow was falling this morning on Echo Summit. Old snow beneath the new snow was wet and soft, indicating lack of a freeze last night. Driving up to Echo, rain appeared to transition to snow at around 7000 feet. 

Photo 1: A fleeting dash of blue this morning, showing the new snow on the ground and trees.  It was mostly snowing during my time in the field this morning. 

Photo 2: Ski triggered loose wet roller ball activity on a steeper slope.

Photo 3: Looking up at the ski triggered loose wet activity. 

Photo 4: Examining the new snow. Excavated horizontal line below the surface was the most wet layer.

Photo 5: Recent cohesive roof shedding on a Forest Service cabin near Echo Lake. I skinned right by this on 3/28 and the snow was still on the roof. The photo doesn't really capture how massive this block of snow is.
