Weather

Clear skies, light wind.

Snowpack

Minor collapsing was observed. The snow depth ranged from a few centimeters to greater than 2 meters on one wind-loaded, above-treeline slope. A stiff wind slab overlaid faceted snow on northern aspects. Wind effect was visible on the surface of many open slopes near and above treeline.

Avalanche

Debris from a possible human-triggered avalanche was seen above treeline on a northeast aspect. Tracks were visible around the slide.
