Weather

Clear skies. 10 degrees at 9AM warming into the 20s by the end of the tour. Light N wind at the ridge.

Snowpack

5-8cm of new snow on a firm crust. In the steepest terrain (at the top and near the bottom), new snow was sloughing easily. If the terrain were steeper I could imagine the sloughs moving fast and far.

Avalanche

Soft sloughs (small) on everything over 35 degrees.
