Weather

Light winds with small amounts of drifting snow. Nothing significant. Fast moving clouds with constantly changing skies anywhere from few to overcast. Another day of warm temperatures especially in wind-protected basins.

Snowpack

Most slopes in this area are thin with deeper areas of previously wind-drifted snow. An above-treeline east-facing slope ranged from 50 to 100 cms of snow with a thin slab over a mostly faceted snowpack. Snow surface on all easterly slopes was dry. No evidence of any change or increase in wet activity.
