Weather
Increasing clouds and relatively calm. Previous NW winds stripped N-E aspects and loaded S aspect.
Snowpack
In dense trees on E aspect, the snowpack is weak but lacks a slab to become unstable. On SE-S at TL and in open areas, the snowpack has a slab a F- hard FC layer and is reactive in places. > TL in N aspect, near ridge top, the snowpack is strong with P hard slab on top of the snowpack. In other areas where the winds stripped most of the snow, the remaining snow consists mostly of FC. I triggered several localized collapses and one terrain feature size whumpf ~TL in SE aspect. See snowpit for more info.
