Weather
Lightly snowing during the tour. Temp were mild with high humidity. Snowfall intensified near the gorge on the way home.
Snowpack
10"-12" of new snow has fallen in the past twenty-four hours. The new snow fell on a rough snow surface and bonded well on lower angle terrain below treeline. The new snow had little slab quality at this elevation. I would expect to see some stuffing at higher elevations in steep terrain and with tomorrows warm up Wet Loose avalanches could become a problem.
