Snowpack

Wide spread firnspiegel. SE aspects were moist at 1000 with shallower areas unsupportive to AF and areas with a more sound snowpack holding cold snow below until 1200 when all structure was lost. Closed EBM @ 1210. W aspects BTL lost structure at 1300 when we closed the LWW. 1200-1300 was the window to ski W aspects N/ATL and that only lasted for one Hr as well.

Avalanche

Numerous roller balls on all aspects as we chased the sun around our tenure. Several new surface WL naturals in the Ruby Range below rock bands but nothing significant.
