Mostly light snow along with short periods of sun. Temperatures were noticeably colder by the end of the tour.
Snowpack
The Prospect area was approximately 70cm deep ATL with 5-10cm of new sitting on a thin crust over facets. Some cracking observed on the ridgeline in deep wind drifted pockets. The ATL snowpack was variable, ranging from no snow, to deep obviously loaded slopes on leeward aspects. The carbon area BTL received 10-15cm of new. No signs of instability. Southerly slopes are still very thin in this area.
