Weather

Socked in and snowing hard all day. Consistently S2-3+ with periods of S5. Mostly graupel through the morning then changing to large stellar clumps.

Snowpack

We dug a quick pit near the top of Mt Justice. HN 30cm. The snowpack was mostly right-side up in the upper 120cm then turned to weak, large grained facets and DH in the lower 60cm. No significant cracking or collapses were observed despite recent avalanche activity in the area and rapid loading.
