Weather

High thin clouds increased in thickness through the day. Mild temps. Light winds.

Snowpack

Explosive testing on upper elevation west-facing terrain with relatively minimal snow safety work this season. No results. Probing revealed discontinuous and isolated persistent slab structures across the terrain, due to previous wind erosion. Anything with a hint of south had a thin, melt freeze crust on the surface after yesterday’s warmup. Crusts did not soften today. Measured 1.6” Storm SWE in a relatively sheltered near treeline slope.

Avalanche

Nothing new since the slides reported yesterday.
