Weather
Increasing clouds throughout the day. T-shirt weather. Warm sun and light wind.
Snowpack
SSE, NTL: 10 cm wet snow at the surface. Below that a generally strong snowpack with a couple MFcr and ice layers. MFcr with facets above and below was the layer of concern (CTM20 SP down 59, ECTX). ENE, just BTL: 2 cm wet snow at the surface. Same MFcr down 59 cm although less pronounced (CTH27). Otherwise rounding facets and rounds. All 1F to P. Moist snow at ground.
Avalanche
No recent avalanches although some older crowns were observed ATL along the Continental Divide on E-facing slopes. Looked like old Wind Slab.
