Weather

Beautiful day at TL. Partly cloudy, light westerly winds and mild temps.

Snowpack

SW and W aspects at TL are thin and variable. Heard one rumbling collapse on a west aspect at 11,500 ft. NW aspects below TL remain weak in sheltered areas. Got a series of shooting cracks on a tailings pile “test slope” in a wind-exposed NW facing area below TL.
