Weather

Blue skies for the first time in awhile, westerly winds still blowing, but with less power than preceeding days.

Avalanche

Widespread natural avalanche cycle. Larger avalanches observed broke above or near treeline and many crowns were filled in. Smaller avalanches broke below treeline, but took most of the seasons snowpack with them.
