Weather

Overcast, with spotty showers through the morning and early afternoon. No significant accumulations during the tour. Calm winds near and below treeline.

Snowpack

~8-10 inches storm snow (since 11/19). New snow loose and cohesionless on all aspects traveled. A little bit of wind-scouring was visible on west facing slopes near treeline, but it hasn't given the new snow any cohesion.
