Weather

Few clouds, light west winds. Warm temps

Snowpack

One pit on N aspect NTL; ECTX results on March 6 facet layer, 85 cm deep (ECTN failure with additional loading steps). Facet layer is noticeably smaller and harder than in recent obs closer to town. Snow surfaces were refreezing wet grains on all aspects except due north where we traveled.

Avalanche

More natural small wet loose today, observed on E through S aspects, all elevations in the upper end of the basin which got more snow out of the last storm.
