Weather

Sunny, scattered clouds, temp about 20 winds light gusting moderate out of the WSW (east aspect in the trees below north diamond peak)

Snowpack

Felt stable below treeline. Near treeline had a bit of whumphing in a couple areas, wind slabs present but didn’t observe any cracking/propagation

Avalanche

Looked like new snow obscuring avalanche debris from a slide on the E facing >TL slope off point 11,588. Probably happened before the most recent snow, wasn’t able to see a crown or any signs other than the partially covered debris field. Picture is unclear but we didn’t want to get much closer to make sure we were clear or the runout path
