Weather

Clear sky's with light winds out of the SW. Warming trend today.

Snowpack

Highly variable snow depths across all aspects. Stiff wind loads on leeward ridge lines egger to snap and crack. Most solar snow was facets top to bottom. Shaded snow is shallow but supportive and fun. It's still low tide in North Route. Next big, fast dumps will be reactive, but welcome.

Avalanche

None observed. No sign. But all wind loads are sensitive on steep East and North aspects. Not to be traveled on or around.
