Weather

Nice day with calm winds and warm temperatures. Few high clouds.

Snowpack

The snowpack in this area is generally thin. Below treeline there is 30-40 cm of loose snow. Near treeline there is very little snow on all but north, northeast, and east aspects. Sun-exposed slopes have no snow or a shallow pack in wind-drifted areas. They also show signs of melt. Above treeline is similar, but with slightly more snowcover.
