Weather

Clear skies, light winds with occasional drifting snow. Strong diurnal temperature swing.

Snowpack

Traveled primarily on east aspects: no signs of instability, just recent snow on dirt. The snow surface is already starting to facet

Avalanche

Good views of a number of northerly facing peaks in the Ruby Range. Nothing significant of note, although winds had reworked the surfaces in the last couple of days. I noted one small debris pile below the south face of Mineral Point (see photo), and got a second-hand report of a small debris pile below the north face of Ruby.
