Weather
Partly cloudy and warm. Some very isolated rain showers along Hwy 133.
Snowpack
Snowpack is melting fast. We have lost 9" on the master stake in the past six days, 1/3 of the remaining snow. Lot's of bare ground showing on all slopes and in the study plot. Where there was snow, it was coarse-grained spring snow, wet for the top two inches, then moist to the ground. Foot pen ground in most locations with a few stretches of supportable snow along my bootpack. Lone tree and Hairpin bowls are holding little snow. Ready to go to NONE here.
Avalanche
No avalanche activity of any kind was observed.
