Weather

Clear, calm, warm

Snowpack

TL and ATL are wind hammered!!! Luckily the sun is low angle so the snow surface is staying cool even with the warm temps. Shady sheltered trees are staying soft, and the snowpack is mostly facets, yet still supportable. Lots of funky wind slab TL and ATL. No instability noted but low probablity/high consequence seems to be the name of the game.

Avalanche

Minor sluffing on steep (40+ degree) rollovers in full depth facets.
