Weather

For the first half of the day winds were relatively calm at low elevation with broken clouds and off and on snow showers in the S2 range.

Snowpack

Storm snow was about 20-25cm deep at 12:30pm with a total snowpack HS of 60-70cm on average. This snowpack lacked much cohesion or slab in either the new snow or midpack and was unreactive with the 5-10cm thick layer of 2mm facets at its base. Boot pen was 90% of the HS.
