Weather

Weather: Clear and calm throughout the morning. Sky's transitioning to overcast around 1pm. S1 starting at 4:30pm.

Snowpack

Snowpack: Oooo surface hoar, you suck. Fairly widespread surface hoar beginning to be buried late this afternoon.. Looked to be cooking off on steep southerly aspects, but maybe not fully cooked. On south surface hoar had formed over a soft crust, on northerly aspects the surface hoar was forming over near surface facets.

Avalanche

Avalanches: Surface hoar/near surface facet sluffs on steep northerly aspects at 12,000ft.
