Weather

Overcast with light snow throughout the early morning (7:30a - 9:30a). 20-30 mph wind towards the saddle and on the ridge.

Snowpack

Light and fluffy snow, between 6-12 inches of fresh snow all the way up. Towards the ridge & saddle most of the fresh snow had blown off and was hard packed snow. The west-facing slope was more barren, while the North and East-facing slopes seemed to have much more snow coverage.

Avalanche

No avalanche activity observed. No signs of shooting cracks. Snow felt/looked stable.
