Weather
Moody morning with overcast sky, light snowfall (S1), and moderate westerly winds cleared to a calm, sunny, beautiful day.
Snowpack
A weak, faceted snowpack exists on all aspects. On south-facing slopes, well-developed facets are sandwiched in between melt-freeze crusts. On north-facing slopes, the snowpack is just composed of well-developed facets top to bottom, with the Christmas rain crust still present but almost entirely faceted.
Avalanche
Saw several old natural avalanches from last weekend's storm and winds and triggered a Loose Dry avalanche that gouged to the ground becoming surprisingly big for the small terrain it was triggered in.
