Filtered sunshine through high thin clouds with temperatures in the mid to high twenties. Light Southwest wind.

Snowpack

The snowpack on the North facing slopes above the Cliffs is composed of almost entirely faceted grains with a shallow snow depth below 4 feet observed. Surface on the North facing slopes is weak like the entire snowpack but that said ski penetration was 10-15cms. Low snow with a "plastered in" look now in the Cliffs with increasing rocks showing.
