Weather

Weather: Increasing thin clouds. Warm temps, light winds.

Snowpack

Snowpack: We assessed 2” to 4” hard wind drifted slabs near ridgetop that appeared to be bonding well; unreactive to ski cuts. No signs of instability in steep terrain. Surfaces are wind affected above treeline after yesterday’s winds.

Avalanche

Observed avalanche activity: Yes Avalanches: Nothing new. A couple of previously undocumented slides from the last cycle; could only see debris piles. Details below.
