Weather

Warm with moderate west winds. Minimal blowing snow at ridgetop around 13k and above.

Snowpack

Snow consolidated and isothermic to ~11K on ENE slope. Above that still winter snowpack. Probed at 11,400 ft ENE slope - HS 140cm - midpack becoming homogeneous but still feeling some distinct layers - bottom 40cm felt like junk. No cracking or collapses. Surface and full depth warming below treeline, minimal surface warming above treeline due to wind.

Avalanche

No wet activity or other activity.
