Weather

Cold temps, light westerly winds, and thin clouds, obscured skies all day. Snowing at S-1 though with the cold temps, precip particles were tiny and not accumulating much at all.

Snowpack

Not much new snow from the recent storm in this area. McClure Pass summit had about 5cm of settled storm snow in upper snowpack. Near ridge top, found around 14 cm new. New snow was low density and showed no effects from stronger winds on Friday up to around 11,000 ft. New snow sat on MF crust on southerly aspects and on surface hoar and surface facets on northerly aspects.
