Weather
Warm, calm and sunny. Some mild westerly winds at ridgetop atl.
Snowpack
Snowpack is transitioning quickly with successive warm days and below freezing night. Recent storm snow settled to around 15-20 cm. Weak layers still present on north-facing terrain, but gaining strength and showing signs of rounding, even the depth hoar. Mid pack slabs are stout (1F to P).
Avalanche
Small loose wet activity, but nothing larger. Water taking it's time moving deeper into the snowpack, but need to think about wet avalanches for next few days at least. Structure for wet slabs is there on most aspects once we introduce water a little deeper.
