Weather

Low clouds came and went most of the day. Winds were light out of the SW (as per Cameron CAIC wx site). Temps in the high teens.

Snowpack

Persistent weak layers at bottom of snowpack with more consolidated snow on top. 15 cm of new snow from this weeks' unsettled weather on top of a melt-freeze crust. Snowpack tests showed high strength/low propagation but poor structure. ENE aspect above treeline.
