Temps remained cold all day, Winds were calm, no precip, sky clear all day. Solar effect behaved as well with no crust formation on terrain travelled today.

Snowpack

Snow surfaces today remained similar to previous day, a mix of wind ripple and denser wind slabs. Structure and snow depth remains variable especially on west aspects with rocks to 100cm+ variation within only a few feet. No significant avalanche activity noted today. Wind slabs that had hardened from 4F yesterday afternoon into stout P+ hard slabs today that kept their shape throughout ride down paths when occasionally cut loose.
