A mix of sun and clouds. Sun had the upper hand in the morning, clouds took the lead in the afternoon. Light to moderate westerly winds, with periods of snow transport observed off of high peaks. Warm temps.

Snowpack

The recent storm snow, up to 18?, got wet or moist at the surface on all but due north aspects, spurring numerous rollerballs and a handful of minor wet loose slides. Near and below treeline, we tested steep rollovers and previously drifted slopes with ski and snowmobile cuts without any notable results; some occasional minor cracking. Stability test results on a due north slope produced non-propagating results at the storm interface.
