Weather

Cold with clearing skies. Only a light north breeze at pass level.

Snowpack

Only .5-2" of very light new snow from last night's storm. The snowpack along the corridor has not seen a significant load in quite some time (before the new year). So, conditionally stable and not a concern until the next big load. Plenty of weak interfaces (crust facet combos on sunny slopes), but ECTX in the White Lizard today. Snow is much weaker in the paths south of Rico (northerly) where facets can be found from the top to bottom of the snowpack.
