Weather

Partly to mostly cloudy and unseasonably warm. Some cumulus clouds building over the higher peaks.

Snowpack

North aspects above TL held cold dry snow. South and west aspects near and above TL started to corn up in the early afternoon. North aspects below TL consisted of wet melt forms resting on top of moist facets. These slopes were punchy and didn't seem to have refrozen last night.

Avalanche

Observed several small natural loose wet avalanches on north aspects near and below TL while driving home on Hwy 82.
