Weather

Wx: left the trailhead at 10:30am under clear skies and foggy heads. No noticeable winds on the valley floor or skin track, although small plumes were visible off of Red Lady and other nearby peaks, with winds coming out of the northwest?

Snowpack

Snowpack: hardly any new snow out there. We skied a northeast aspect up to 35 deg that varied in snow depth between areas that had previously avalanched and those that had not. Avy activity: no collapses, no cracking, no movement.
