Weather

Strong solar for this time of year. Temps hovered around freezing, but cool winds made for cold skinning conditions.

Snowpack

SW winds continued to move any available snow onto Northerly slopes. Since the wind has been blowing consistently for the last few days transport was light to moderate. That said, many leeward and cross-loaded slopes near and above treeline look "Fat and Loaded". Below treeline the snow has stayed cold and dry in protected areas.
