Weather

-OVC, light breeze BTL and NTL from the west, did not travel ATL

Snowpack

I traveled BTL and NTL on W and SW-facing slopes and observed no signs of instability. HS both BTL and NTL 35-80 cm (this is an area often affected by wind, especially ATL). I did not travel ATL but observed rocks poking out from the snow in many places. Snowpack faceted throughout, but it wasn't wallowy and trail-breaking was not difficult.

Avalanche

No new avalanches observed.
