Weather

Early a temps where in the 20s, with clear skies and no precipitation. Winds were calm.

Snowpack

No signs of instability noted on this early morning tour. North eastern facing aspects below Treeline showed signs of recent cross loaded ridges. 1ft Settlement cones were observed around trees. We skied 6 inches of three day old fairly dry storm snow. Solar aspects had zipper crusts in the shade and otherwise wet sticky storm snow. We noted roller balls and other small wet point releases around Cliff bands from the day prior
