Weather

Mostly clear skies, temps in the teens though felt warmer in the sun. Winds calm in the area we toured, but plumes and blowing snow visible in Star Peak vicinity early afternoon, most ridges >12000 feet by late afternoon.

Snowpack

4-10" of new snow over various combos of facets, depth hoar and crusts. Felt fragile, but still lacking just a little something in slab for widespread or long propagation. May not hold much more load, especially if it's cohesive snow.
