Sunny skies in the morning becoming partly cloudy by 11:30

Snowpack

Completely isothermal with little new snow below treeline. Columbus Basin snotel shows 30" TD. At 12,500' on north aspects there is around 12" of new, dry snow on top of the dust layer. Seems to have bonded well, although impacts from yesterday's sun are obvious, particularly on east-facing aspects. Skied like winter time above 12,000' or so, corn skiing below that. Lots of R1-R2 D1 wet loose slides.
