Weather
Generally clear skies with clustered clouds, sunset
Snowpack
11,200 feet - 12,000 feet on East-Southeast Aspects: Breakable crust, solid enough that skinning would not consistently break through though skiing did. Below the crust was 2-4 inches of softer snow above a very firm base. Steeper sections featured areas of firm snow that was not breakable.
Avalanche
The gully below Point 12,701 (just south of the Tunnel along the Divide) on a West-Northwest facing aspect slid on Sunday morning. This had clearly slid at least for a second time by Tuesday evening. Both appeared to be wet slides, initiated between 12,000-12,200
