Weather

Partly cloudy with moderate W winds kept things cool in the alpine despite warm temps. Listed temp and HS are approx.

Snowpack

A series of very supportive melt freeze crusts are within the top meter of the snowpack. The new snow ~7cm was bonding well with no sluffing noted. The moderate W winds kept the snow cool on the solar aspects. The top MF crust was unbreakable on skis and required some serious effort to break through.
