Weather

High cloudiness. Northwesterly flow kept things cool, but temps still reached above freezing at pass level. It really didn't feel that warm while skiing in the trees below TL on Nerly aspects.

Snowpack

Snowpack has settled. No signs of instability on ski test (E at TL). Settled powder on Nerly aspects below TL. Observed SSNR2D2 (E below TL) probably from late Monday. Still seeing isolated, but significant natural and triggered slides. NW-N-SE aspects at all elevations seem the most problematic.
