Weather

Skies were clear other than a few high thin clouds. Very light SW winds.

Snowpack

Lots of solar input today was melting the snow surface on S-W aspects. The sun was strong enough to melt yesterday's crusts, and initiate some loose snow activity.

Avalanche

Lots of loose wet activity on sunny slopes below 11,000'. All slides were in the D.5-1.5 range.
