Weather

Broken sky clearing around 1:00 PM to Scattered. Strong winds at ridgeline with Moderate snow transport.

Snowpack

Variable wind crusts and wind slabs on leeward slopes above 11,000 feet. Windward slopes above the treeline were scoured to the ground or to a melt-freeze crust that formed during our last warm spell. New snow seems to be bonding well with the old snow interface on most aspects. Wind slabs are still a concern on specific terrain features.

Avalanche

One recent avalanche on a wind-loaded slope above Yule Creek.
