Snowpack

No signs of instability noted. Supportive crust on all south aspects until ~10:30. High temps, and calm winds resulted in quick softening of the surface crust as soon as the sun became high and direct. .5cm surface hoar noted on all shaded aspects along with a light crust on NW-W aspects.
