Weather

OVC, calm winds, warm 30s up high and a bit humid

Snowpack

widespread windjack / wind affected snow. much more hard windslab formation than I've seen in this area to date. wind seemed to go deep south at some point. dug on NE @11,300 looking for mid feb layer. Got a pretty energetic ECTP19 60cm down on NSFs sandwiching a 10cm crust. enough to turn us around HS 270cm

Avalanche

one old natrual windslab probably from thur or fri R1D1 NE @ 11,000. frequent avalancher, debris ran to bench. no other natrual activity seen
