Overcast with periods of clearing skies. Gusty west winds and valley snow settling rapidly with warm temps.

Snowpack

Overall coverage is still thin in tracks of alpine paths, with surface roughness from rocks and trees clearly visible. Cornice on Beeler Grade is growing, and debris noted below the road from early January avalanche cycle. As usual, north and east paths have greater snow cover, with south and west very thin.
