Warm and sunny. Brisk winds kept it feeling chilly but no snow movement with the exception of a few strong gusts on Baldy Cinco.

Snowpack

The structure in this area (northwest/ near treeline) continues to be very weak. Consisting of a 30 centimeter, 4 finger slab resting on 50 cm's loose and uncohesive 5-7mm depth depth hoar crystals. The interface between the two obvious layers is still producing propagating results but with 19-20 taps instead of 7-9 about 10 days ago. Ski penetration is still to the ground with a slight stomp in most areas.
