Weather

Cloud cover increased from Bluebird at 10 AM to broken by 2:30 PM Strong winds at and above treeline all day. This valley often exceeds forecast wind speeds

Snowpack

Patchy a good descriptor. N->E aspects had 10 to 30 cm of NSF (recycled Powder) but generally not continuous across slopes. In general the snow cover is thin to bare ground, but since it is a wind spot depressions, gully features and couloirs were holding more snow
