Weather

Mixed bag of weather conditions: some snow, some light rain and some sunshine. Overall very warm, especially for the date. Felt like spring.

Snowpack

The snowpack along the corridor remains quite thin with HS in most paths hovering around 50cm. Most paths still have a fair amount of surface roughness with rocks and vegetation poking through. The Snow Spurs is really the only exception to this. Unseasonably warm temps yesterday and today have really warmed the surface snow, which will leave stout surface crusts when it refreezes. Snow is currently quite warm and mushy.
