Weather

Clear skies, moderate westerly winds and no blowing snow. Mild temps but winds kept thing chilly on ridge-tops.

Snowpack

Skied south face of Mt. Prospect from Pt. 12,529. Snow was still hard and frozen at 1045 from 12,500 to 11,800. Upper snowpack had slightly softened from 11,800 to 11,000 on south aspects. Ski pen ranged from 0 to 10 cm but I was off the slopes by 1100.
