Weather
Mostly overcast skies w some brighter, more broken spells. Winds light from the north at ridgelines, but not below. Inversion in the AM but more seasonable temps above.
Snowpack
On sun-exposed slopes, sun crusts of various thickness. Supportable on steepest, sunniest slopes up to about 10500'. No obs above that elevation. Still dry facets in shade, w ski pen ~ 20-30 cm on shady slopes. Large surface hoar has mostly melted/ sublimated away, even in shady valley bottoms.
Avalanche
Triggered sluffs w turns on steepest slopes, all small but a few ran far enough and entrained enough snow to be worth noting.
