Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions: 

Sunset skied the SW face of castle peak. We saw a large loose wet avalanche that had been skier triggered earlier during the day. A moderate wind and clear skies seemed to be helping the refreeze and things started firming/freezing up again as we left at 6pm.
