Weather

Although fairly cool ambient temperature, solar imput made it feel like spring. Skies were mainly clear and winds were calm ahead of the storm.

Snowpack

Snowpack depth ranged from 95 cm to 135 cm on NE slope of interest. Snow surfaces were starting to show effects from the sun with crusts building. CT score indicated a very stubborn weak layer near the ground and was not repeatable without going above 30 taps.
