Weather

Cold, light winds all elevations, snowing to S1 all day.

Snowpack

HN24 20cms on the Pass side of the Ridge, a little less in Prospect. Light density snow, didn't add much weight to the existing snowpack. No instability signs noted, no storm slab, no wind transport. Winds were just starting to pick up at 2pm as we were on the ridge below Putney.

Avalanche

Small sluffs on steep rollovers below treeline. Didn't run far or gouge down deep.
