Weather

Temps in the teens. The sun finally made an appearance, though obscured through high clouds. Winds were out of south/southwest most of the day. Moderate snow transport. S1 started around 1500 with more cloud cover.

Snowpack

Recent snowfall seems right side up. Minimal cracking, only at NTL and ATL. No sluff issues.

Avalanche

No Name Peak. Hard to tell if it was just storm snow or there was a persistent weak layer evolved. SS-N-R3-D3-U
