Clear and breezy, some gusty periods that would knock you around.

Snowpack

Clear skies overnight produced a solid freeze at all elevations. Even south below treeline was still supportive below treeline by noon. Near treeline both north and south slopes were still froze at 11am. North freeze was 8cm thick and snowpack depths ranged from 1m - 2.5m in drifted areas. Southerly slopes average HS ~1m with plenty of burned out areas. Surface melt freeze crust was still supportable to skis at noon. Moist melt forms to ground below surface crust.
