Weather

Temps -10 F, Winds WNW 25-45, Sky-Few,

Snowpack

No Pit or Crown Observations due to lack of access. Best guess; Wind Slab over Previous Storm Slab over a buried Wind Slab (HS) sitting on Basal Facets. No mitigation work done yet this season, so a natural snowpack to date.

Avalanche

Ridgeline, 12,600', East facing slope. Patrol Bowl - HS-AKu-R4-D4-G. Crown estimated 550' wide. Average depth 15, max 20+.
