Weather

No good freeze overnight, but a light crust from clear skies. Things got brutally hot as soon as the sun came up about 6.

Snowpack

In the span of 10 minutes the snow became significantly less supportive, and at 9am three slides went off naturally in the span of a couple minutes and we bailed. It's still not corn back there, went straight from crust to slush. I don't think they got much snow out of last week's storm (or it all melted down very quickly), there was only about a half inch of clean snow on top of a pretty significant dust layer around 11k'
