Weather

Snow varied from light to over 1cm/hr, wind was light most of morning.

Snowpack

Snow in trees sluffed easily at steep angles. At TL there were areas of 2-4cm wind slabs (unreactive) formed (11400', E facing, N Diamond 'bench'). Found poor bonding between old and new snow (11100', S Diamond 'bench', NNE facing), ECTP21, SC at 60cm below surface, but did not see any natural activity in the near area.

Avalanche

A couple D1 loose dry below treeline, 10800', E facing.
