Weather

Increasing cloud cover throughout the day. Mild temperatures, with light to moderate ridge top winds.

Snowpack

Below treeline on south facing terrain the HS ranged from 20-30cm. Near and above treeline it was 0-10cm. I dug on a north facing slope (profile attached): Many layers of hard, wind-packed snow over well developed DH at the bottom. The snow is confined to top and cross-loaded features only. Everything else is blown clean.
