Weather

Definitely winter still, even though we are not receiving much snow. Fairly cool up high with a stiff westerly wind blowing. Broken clouds streaming overhead, but more sun than clouds in afternoon. Didn't feel warm until we got below TL.

Snowpack

Ascended terrain on most aspects except westerly. Widely varied as far as dust distribution and depth of the different dust events. The sunnier aspects had the most recent dust on the surface and the large dust event (D6) was still 12"+ below surface. Colder aspects were white and had good cold snow on them.
