Sunny, mild and windy above tl. Winds got stronger near and below tl as the day progressed.

Snowpack

The snowpack is in various stages of transition towards a spring-like regime, Extent of this evolution depends on aspect and elevation. Lower elevations and southerly slopes are deepest into the transition, with mostly isothermal snow. Flat and northerly terrain remains colder and still fairly wintry. Due north slopes at all elevations continue to hold cold snow.

Avalanche

Overall, very little activity despite a prolonged period of warming in addition to the warmest temperatures to date.
