Weather

Jones Pass, temps in the high 20's, low 30's, zero wind, bluebird skies. Topped out at 12,400. Skied down N/NE facing slope.

Snowpack

Snow was punchy with wind slab in patchy pockets on the way up. We stayed on the E side of the face on the way down and had all fluffy snow, no punchiness. Saw some very minor propagation just below the ridge, but it ceased once we were down on the face more. N/NE face, ~12,000 ft, Jones Pass.
