Weather

Weather: Mostly Clear, a few high thin cirrus clouds. Calm winds at ridgeline. Hot enough to lay down and take a nap.

Snowpack

Snowpack: Near and above treeline snow surface conditions are just rocked by previous winds. Lots of wind effected snow, some firm wind board 1-3" thick and some wind textured curdled cream type snow. Ski pen about 10cm on the lumpy cream type snow. Dry snow on NE and N facing slopes. Southeast facing slopes only seemed to be moist down 5-10cm. More protected and steeper SE slopes probably had a thicker moist surface.
