Skies partially cleared late morning, but with some valley fog. Winds light w some noticeable gusts mid afternoon. Warm in sun, though temps actually quite cool.

Snowpack

Storm snow densities decreased elevation; less than 10% NTL/ATL. Did not feel slabby. No snow visibly blowing around; no signs of drifting or slab formation.

Avalanche

With one possible exception (below) no fresh crowns observed. Did not seem that inbounds mitigation produced slides. No fresh crowns on east side of Highlands Ridge/ Five fingers area.
