Weather
Clouds increased late morning through the afternoon. Light to moderate northwest winds.
Snowpack
Travelled over alpine south and southeast-facing slopes. Near treeline we travelled on east through south to west. No cracking or collapsing observed. A week ago on a similar route in the same terrain collapsing was common near treeline, but not above. Overnight northwest winds transported snow only near alpine ridgelines. Drifts were soft and posed no threat.
Avalanche
One tiny fresh wind slab off the Treasury to Galena ridge.
