Weather
Mild, though persistent wind made it feel cool. Increasing clouds through day.
Snowpack
Things seeming overall pretty quiet out there. Only avalanches were small sluffs in the recent snow- some running on the old dust layer, particularly on southerly aspects above tl. Lots of settlement and rollers virtually everywhere. South winds were brisk and kept the snow surface cool, though were not moving any snow (none available). Most sunny slopes seem to have good drainage setting up and temps today and tomorrow will not be warm enough to drive much melting. Biggest concern remains on northerly slopes near and above tl where recent winds deposited a good amount of snow. However, pretty good bonding there too.
