Weather

Mostly sunny day with a few small clouds passing across the sky. Valley temps were pushing into the 40s. Light winds helped keep snow surfaces cool.

Snowpack

Small amounts of wind-loading were observed on easterly faces throughout the zone. Temperatures at lower elevations were warm, but high up on slopes, a light breeze kept surfaces cold enough to prevent any Wet Loose avalanche activity.

Avalanche

No Wet Loose or Wind Slab activity was observed.
