Light wind with moderate gusts at ridgetop. High clouds filtering in to the area from SW throughout the day.

Snowpack

Variable surface conditions from hard wind deposits to melt/freeze and wind crusts to near-surface facets. Did not observe any surface hoar in this specific terrain. HS from 0-20cms on south-southwest-west-northwest. North-northeast-east-southeast HS = 30-60cms. North through east aspects consist of mostly facets throughout the pack. Southeast snowpack consists of facets sandwiched between multiple crusts.
