Weather

Mainly clear skies, a light southwest breeze, and temperatures in the low thirties.

Snowpack

The height of snow ( HS) near treeline was between 70-90 cm. A 5 cm breakable crust was apparent. Stability tests of ECTX and CTN showed a trend of the snowpack strengthening. However large depth hoar near the ground and a more consolidated slab above are still concerning.
