Weather

Clear at TH, gradually increasing clouds, becoming overcast by mid-afternoon. Temps 20-25F, calm winds to occasional light breeze from NW.

Snowpack

Significant surface hoar (up to 3 cm) in many locations. Most prevalent in open areas especially just above treeline. Thin MF crust at surface or just below sfc hoar on sunny aspects. Could be an interesting combination with snow forecast for Sunday afternoon. 10-15 cm of soft storm snow from earlier this week. Stout/fully supportable midpack.
