Weather

Overcast and a bit obscured all day, S-1, calm with temps. in mid teens.

Snowpack

1" new snow overnight. Crust on E/SE aspects BTL, now under an 1" of new (slick w/ new snow), ~ 1-2cm thick perhaps slightly thicker in more open terrain, was supportable to ski in spots but punchy to boot pen. Small size loose dry avalanching on steeper northerly slopes, not enough to bury a person but can run a good distance down slope. Still fun and surfy out there!

Avalanche

Old crown lines that are filling back in, D .5-1 on convexities/rollovers, N facing BTL terrain.
