Weather

Started off overcast with light snow. Strong westerly winds, but cleared to broken skies and winds calmed down throughout the day.

Snowpack

Only traveled below treeline. Open northerly-facing areas are just getting a slab. Anything in the trees is pretty shallow and faceted. Southerly-facing slopes are 50-70cm deep with two crust layers in the middle of the snowpack sandwiching 10cm of faceted crystals.
