Weather

Very hot temperatures around 9,600 to 10,800 ft, temperatures approaching 40 degrees. The skies were clear and sunny, no cloud build up throughout the day. North/North East Aspect.

Snowpack

HS ranges from 85-100 cm. You still could fell the old crust layers underneath the new snow. Skiing was ok but challenging for folks being heavy & pushy. No signs of instability! When you changed to a slightly different aspect you found a thin crust, that was not that bad to ski. North/North East aspect around 9,600 - 10,8000 ft.
