Weather

Sunny, cool temps below freezing. Surprisingly windy even at lower/mid elevations. NW wind was moving even the big surface facets, tracks getting blown over between laps.

Snowpack

Weak on the surface. Large surface facets making for good skiing. Still supportive snowpack with ski pen only about 8 cms. Newly forming soft sastrugi on NW icing aspect. Noted wind transport in adjacent peaks, especially NTL.
