Snowpack

Between the lack of snow and the recent warm temps and strong north winds the snowpack near TL is variable. No signs of instability. Fresh surface hoar in the shade (1-2mm typical). Thin snowpack on Nerly aspects is mostly faceted often combined with surface wind crust in exposed areas. MF crust on sunny aspects.

Avalanche

Starting to see some isolated facet sluffing.
