Weather

Weather: Clear baby, some would say warm!!

Snowpack

Snowpack: In a word weak! I feel we are teetering on full facet top to bottom. What was perhaps a supportably snow pack, is slowly turning to a weak unconsolidated, trap door facet monster. Its nothing unusual for us, but with the surface hoar developing and continued cold temps, we are setting ourselves up for potential problems with more snow load.

Avalanche

Avalanches: No avalanches seen or any sign of instability
