Warm with mostly cloudy skies and very light winds.
Snowpack
On a south facing slope near 10,400 feet. the snowpack depth was 280 centimeters . The entire snowpack was moist and between -0.5 and -1.0 Celcius. At 1:30 in the afternoon, the top 30 centimeters was wet and punchy down to an intact and supportive crust, free water was not percolating through the crust. The mid-pack is very dense, making digging very time consuming. Several crusts are still identifiable but none were reactive in extended column tests.The depth hoar is moist and becoming more cohesive
Avalanche
Very small wet loose sluffs on north-facing slopes near 10,600'
