Snowpack

No obvious signs of instability, E-S-W near and below TL (cracking/collapsing). Warm temps doing a number on sunny aspects. Breakable crust very common. Bare ground showing up in low elevation highway paths.

No observed recent natural avalanche activity. Was able to push very isolated/minor WL sluffing in recent new snow (~4" settled) on sunny W aspects at the end of the day
