Weather

warm, calm, and sunny. Winds picked up a bit around 11am, but did not get gusty by the time I left at noon.

Snowpack

Snowpack in RMNP has progressed a bit farther towards a spring snowpack than other areas. This is the best coverage in RMNP I have seen at this time of year in a decade. Snowpack was wet at the surface and the top 6 inches by 11:30am. Mosit down to a foot deep. Evidence of previous wet roller balls and small wet loose slide near rocks.
