Weather
Cloudy day with moderate winds at higher elevation.
Snowpack
The winds have really done a number in Summit County. Even below treeline slopes have lost snow and many slopes are thin to bare. In areas where the snow is hanging in, it is weak top-to-bottom below treeline. Near treeline recent strong winds have scattered a thin, but super hard slab on open leeward slopes. This slab was isolated at best and not very continuous. Above treeline, the coverage was super spotty. I'd imagine the snow that remains is quite hard.
