Weather

Felt like a late February sunny day. Weirdly warm.

Snowpack

Rapid surface warming and frequent rollerballs on sunbaked slopes. I triggered one slope-scale rumbling collapse with a light ski stomp on a shallow spot near ridgeline. I also triggered a few smaller feature-wide collapses while poking around on the wind eroded side of the ridge, traveling where the slabs thinned out to about a foot thick.
