Weather

Few clouds, still some moderate to strong winds at ridgelines

Snowpack

Some areas are scoured back to the old snow surface. Some fresh wind slab on sheltered southerly aspects, but did not seem reactive.

Avalanche

One 24 to 36 hour old HSNR2D2 on ENE aspect at treeline. Path loaded from strong northerly winds. Crown looked to be 1 to 2 feet deep, about 75 feet wide. Could not see how far it ran.
