Weather

Increasing clouds throughout the day. Southerly winds gusted moving snow onto north aspects at times. Transport was light to moderate. Temps were mild.

Snowpack

Spent most of the day near and below treeline on E and NE aspects. The snowpack continues to show strength with no signs of cracking or collapsing. In exposed areas there is a 2-5cm wind skim on the surface. In protected areas surface hoar and near surface facets sit on the snow surface.
