Weather

Cold, clear, and windy. Salvage logging around the study plot has left the stakes very exposed especially to North winds. Spoke with RE about relocating.

Snowpack

Exposed slopes near and above TL have been very wind affected.

Avalanche

One recent natural avalanche observed near Wetterhorn Pk (date unknown). D2 on a SE aspect above TL. Although not a ridgeline location, could have been cornice triggered. Too far away for any details.
