Weather

Overcast with some broken skies by 2pm. No wind in the drainage. Not much snow being transported at ridgetop even though it looked windy. Probably little snow left to transport from windward slopes.

Snowpack

Below treeline snowpack consists mostly of storm snow from the last week's storms over a 3-4" layer of basal facets. No slab and not enough snow to overcome terrain roughness. Near treeline snowpack HS is 60-90cms. Wind has cross-loaded terrain features. Above treeline cornices growing especially on northeast.
