Clear and calm day up on the pass. Took most of the day to warm up. High of 20F.

Snowpack

Dug on east aspect below treeline. Height of snow = 165cm. Snowpack not reactive to tests. One decomposing crust at 90cm from ground, otherwise fist (soft) at surface to 1F (harder) at ground.

Avalanche

Evidence of debris below exploder 3 that stopped at the bench. Guessing D1.5 in size.
