Snowpack assessment showed a weak layer at about 40cm. Noticed a few isolated windslabs but very small and only in certain areas and some crossloading on NE aspects along with a slight sun crust S aspects. We got an inversion making for lovely temps around 2000m ( around 0 C on top and -6 C at the parking lot), inversion corrected towards mid afternoon.
