Weather

Gusty winds even at valley bottom. Mostly cloudy. When sun came out, things heated up quickly.

Snowpack

I dug on ESE @ 11500'. Moist snow on surface over 35cm thick refrozen melt freeze crusts and rounds (P hard). Rounding depth hoar below that to the ground. Very supportable to boot and ski. Below treeline punchy and collapsing by 11am.
