Beautiful day. Warm at pass level- Swamp Angel hit 31. Cooler in the alpine

Snowpack

The bigger highway paths are starting to fill in. Our next significant storm (15"+) will put these paths on our concern list. Below pass level south facing slopes had some rollerballs and obvious signs of warming. This was also noticed on my ski tour. South facing slopes got warm enough to create a warm moist surface. Glopped easily on my unwaxed skis. Skied where 50 other people were skiing so not much unaffected snow but continued to get collapses if we found unaffected snow
