Weather
Gusty winds, with some periods of calm and some periods of strong gusts. Some light transport of fine-grained facets, with some plumes on the lee sides of saddles that channeled wind.
Snowpack
Discontinuous snow cover due to sun and wind. Windward tops of ridges stripped, though lower slopes retained snow. On lee sides, small but very hard cornices, a few overhanging. Small sastrugi on ridge.
