Weather

Weather: Partly Cloudy becoming overcast in the afternoon. Calm wind.

Snowpack

Snowpack: BTL: Very little snow. About 30cm HS on average. 2" settled storm snow over facets or crusts. NTL: Looked like the most continues snow coverage and deepest HS. If persistent slab structure is still intact, this looked like the most likely elevation to find that avalanche problem. ATL: Snow coverage is mostly confined to gullies and wind loaded areas. Looked very "continental" with generally very little snow coverage and firm snow surfaces. Pictures: http://cbavalanchecenter.org/cement-creek-pictures/
