Weather

Chilly, with lingering snow showers throughout the day. Winds were light and visibility was obscured with low level valley fog/clouds.

Snowpack

Weak and thin is the best way to describe the snowpack in this area. HS ranged from 30-60 cm and was comprised of large grain DH capped by today's storm snow. No supportable structures were observed. Small "facealanching" on the descent in steeper trees.
