Weather

Light snowfall lent to clearing skies and strong southwest winds.

Snowpack

Recent-new snow totaled 12 to 18 inches below treeline. Weak faceted snow was most prevalent at the ground. Collapsing was widespread and cracking was only evident on steeper slopes that harbored buried faceted snow layers.
