Weather

Cold and very windy morning. Wind blowing significant snow from trees below treeline.

Snowpack

All west facing ridges above treeline scoured. Snow coverage on east and north slopes near treeline looked sufficient to cover most ground vegetation and rocks. Southern slopes showed bare patches from recent warm up. Today's wind were stripping the alpine further and loading near treeline slopes.
