Weather

Calm at treeline. Light intermittent snow showers. Only out for 2 hrs, wind did not increase during our tour. Ample snow to move around when it does.

Snowpack

4 inches of new snow at 10400', 8 inches at 11400'.New snow was not a cohesive slab. Ski cuts on steeper rolls did produce results. A stout crust lay below 4-6" of new snow on open, south facing, below treeline slopes.
