Weather

Cloudy, on and off light snow, and low visibility with mid-level clouds moving in and out throughout the morning.

Snowpack

Easy to get shooting cracks on wind-drifted slopes mostly on east, southeast, and south-facing slopes. The crust underneath the new snow was supportable but still moist from being insulated by the new snow before the cold front arrived refreezing things.

Avalanche

Triggered several small Wind Slab avalanches.
