Weather
Blue skies, calm, warming in to the afternoon. Low clouds came in around 10am cooling off a bit. N and E aspects around 10,500 feet.
Snowpack
Everywhere we investigated felt very "right side up" low density new snowfall on on surface transitioning to higher density snow deeper in to the snowpack. No cracking, collapsing, etc.
Avalanche
Observed two natural avalanches in North Anthracite Creek that probably ran 1/6 after new snow and wind loading. Isolated to NE pockets of steeper terrain.
