Snowpack

NW-S 9,-12,300ft SNOWPACK: Shallow HS on the South side of Red Coon. Good melt freeze over weak facets. At 11,000ft on the standard Red lady skin track there were areas of full slop to the ground. Probably not Isothermal but heading in that direction. NW Alpine slopes still had cold and dry snow at 3pm with boot top style ski pen. In the late afternoon, the snowpack in the Slate River Valley was unsupportive and isothermal.
