Weather

A short burst of snow when I arrived at 9am. There was some graupel for a short time. Skies became scattered towards afternoon. Wind stayed moderate all day.

Snowpack

Travel below treeline becoming brutal. Below treeline is unsupportable with continued faceting. At and above treeline snowpack is weak. Specific areas such as cross-loaded gullies and easterly quarter aspects have a significant slab on top of depth hoar.
