Weather

Cumulus slowly building thru the morning hours. Winds increased a bit with elevation, gusty.

Snowpack

N'ly aspect snow surface had a thin dust layer at the surface. Dust does not seem as pronounced on north and west aspects as it does on the east aspects. Drainage seems well established. Areas with rock protruding from the surface, or hidden just below the surface had issues with faster melting and the potential for riders to break through to ground. Other wise the snowpack seemed very solid
