Snow showers coming and going throughout tour. Gusty winds at times.

Snowpack

Winds stripping exposed west near treeline ridges. Unable to see into east slopes due to light snow and blowing snow. Upper fetches were bare and occasional gusts would move snow from open areas below treeline. West below treeline slopes HS ranged from 100-60cm deep. CT1@10cm at old/new interface, however difficult to get this interface to fail on test slopes. Some minor cracking within new snow at ski tips.
