Increasing cloud cover throughout the day with a few flurries at around mid day.
Snowpack
On E-S aspects, the snowpack was about 1 m deep and consisted of mostly FC / MX mod FC crystals. The upper part of the snowpack has 2 - 3 crust layers, with a partly supportive 5-7 cm thick upper CR layer on the E aspect and a supportive ~10 cm thick CR layer on the S aspect. On the N aspect, the upper part of the snowpack did not have the CR layers. However, I did find a mid-pack MF layer from early March. Overall, I did not find a mid-pack slab on E-S, <= TL, and NTL on N aspect. On N aspect >TL, I founds a 10-15 cm winds slab on the snow surface. See snowpit for more details.
