Another bluebird Colorado day. Clear, calm and mild.

Snowpack

We skied below TL on a west aspect. Depth ranged from 15" at bottom of slope to roughly 30" at top. No slab present, just various forms and sizes of facets, or recent new snow transforming to facets. Unconsolidated soft snow that is easy to get to sluff in steep terrain. Will not support much of a load when we do get one. This high pressure is setting us up for a repeat of last year once we get a decent storm.
