Didn't venture up very high (6k), was spooked by the NWAC warning re new snow and loose/wet. Didn't see any avalanches occur, some loose/wet activity from previous day(s) but not huge.
Large-medium cornices over Silver Basin vicinity.
Noontime snow was fairly sticky and creamy. Skinning on steeper slopes was slippery. Resort runs made for easier turns with only a couple inches of cream. Snow nearly down to resort plaza- where I found 120 Rupees in the melt-out.
