Warm, mostly sunny, with light southwesterly winds.
Snowpack
Recent snow has settled to around 4 to 6 inches and was still dry(ish) above 12,000 ft on east and northeast-facing slopes. Snow surface corned up from 12000 to around 10000 feet by 11am, and below that the snowpack was very wet throughout and punchy on our egress. The most recent dust layer is showing itself again on steep sunny slopes, and is still buried up to a foot deep on more drifted and colder slopes. We could get very small wet sluffs in steep sunny slopes to sheet of on the dust layer, but they did not gouge any deeper and posed little concern.
