Weather

Temps in the teens with snow flurries. Clouds swirling in and out. Winds were moderate out of the north.

Snowpack

Thin coverage on W-N-NE, near and below treeline. ~8" storm total sitting on either dirt or a 5-10mm thick layer of depth hoar. Found this depth hoar on NW-N-NE. Snowpack was pretty much entirely non-cohesive on all these slopes. Found a few wind drifts from the N winds, but didn't get onto any S slopes. Didn't find any snow harder than F+.
