Beats ingesting disinfectant

With plenty of snow left to enjoy, back to the Middle Fork we went.   

• Several hours of below-freezing temperatures left a somewhat supportable surface this morning between 3500 - 6700'.
• The snow surface was dimpled from overnight rain with a dusting of fresh snow at 5000' and an inch or two near our high point. Southwest winds had redistributed the snow leaving thin drifts and scoured areas.
• We observed a surprising amount of new wet loose debris and rollerballs from the recent snow and rain on mid and upper elevation northeast and southeast slopes. The debris was relatively small D1-1.5. 
• We stuck to north-facing terrain and did not notice any instabilities through our 1:00 exit. 
• The snowpack below 4000' has melted a substantial amount since my last visit 3 days ago. Walking is required on old Highway 2 with downed trees and brush rearing their ugly heads on the approach trail in the forest.
