Weather

Clear skies in AM; a few puffy clouds by midday. Didn't feel noticeably warmer than previous day. 54* at ~11000 at 1500.

Snowpack

Slopes regularly swept by westerly winds seem to have a snowpack about 1 m deep that consists mostly of late season snow. Very few facets or potential failure planes.

Avalanche

A little more activity, with rollerballs spreading to some steep, northerly slopes below cornices and rocks. Slides don't involve much debris.
