WEATHER: Mostly clear sky and a really nice day. Calm winds with some light down valley gusts.

Snowpack

SNOWPACK/AVALANCHE OBS: Just a weak facet sandwich out there. Any wind hardened slab that we found was faceted and the snowpack layering just didn't have the ingredients for a slab problem. Surface Hoar was chilling about 20cm below the snow surface, but again needed some type of slab. Small sloughs where the only instability.
