Very warm with clear skies until 3pm when clouds and virga started to push into the area. Winds were absent at valley bottoms.
Snowpack
Spent the day near valley bottom at 9500?. Crust were 4 or 5 inches thick in the moring and by 1pm they had broken down enough that boot penetration was basically to ground or as long as your legs would allow. Around 315pm crossed several northeast and east-facing slopes, 9500?, and found that some slopes were unsportive to skis at times with minor collapsing of the barely intact crusts. More northerly slopes had intact slab structure where as east was just a broken down crust sitting on wet snow.
