Weather

~10F in the shade/creek bottom first thing, but only observed new snow on the surface and no hoar formation. Warmed to low 20's at 10,000' but felt very warm in the sun, bluebird!

Snowpack

Barely covering logs and rocks in the trees, somewhat survival skiing. Barely more than 12" at top of Walton Peak on S and W areas. Depth closer to avg of 24" on E and N facing. HN of ~4" from last night at 10,000', didn't observe any bonding issues in storm snow.
