Weather

Warm! and humid. Periods of clear skies. No wind below treeline

Snowpack

Most notable layer was "fog crust" 1-2mm below treeline. Ski Patrol reporting up to 2cm on most aspects near and above treeline. Hopefully the snow begins while temperatures are still warm, and it may bond to this surface. Otherwise, unremarkable snowcover, 107cm deep where snow has not slid. Estimating 60cm where it has. Surface hoar unevenly distributed 20cm below the surface. Non-reactive in tests.
