Weather

Overcast below ~11,000' on West side of Independence with skies opening to scattered cloud cover higher on the pass. Calm winds with 4.5" HN24 / 0.3" SWE and variable HS

Snowpack

Not enough snow to obscure surface roughness. The snow overnight appears to have arrived under calm to light winds. This low density, un-wind-affected snow may be particularly prone to faceting.
