Weather

3" of new snow with 0.2" of water content. Clear skies, cold temps, and little if any wind.

Snowpack

Observed some moderate cracking in an obvious wind pillow on an ENE aspect near treeline. Although winds were light during the storm the low density snow was easily transported. No other signs of instability.

Avalanche

Observed avalanche activity was limited to small (D1-1.5) loose snow avalanches. Visibility was excellent.
