Weather

More clouds to east, fewer to the west. Winds eased during the afternoon.

Snowpack

Slow to thaw. Much of the surface snow was wind buffed, sastrugi, and in sheltered areas still fairly soft during the morning hours. A bit before noon high elevation south aspect snow surface was thawing, which spread around to east aspects a little after noon. Could see a lot of terrain. Really no avalanche activity to speak of.
