Weather
Weather: Farkin cold. Single digits to teens with a biting North wind. Wind did taper in the afternoon. Skies cleared through the day and AM flurries amounted to nothing. Obvious wind transported snow in the alpine all day.
Snowpack
Snowpack: It’s shallow out here. We stayed in the valley today but the snowpack is notably weaker and more faceted than surrounding areas. New stiff wind-board present even BTL on exposed slopes.
Avalanche
Avalanches: D1 wind slab releases on the East Face of Gothic. Looks like most of the main line, but shallow and at various times. Several small crowns lower down above cliffy terrain.
