Weather

Beautiful bluebird day. Clear skies, mild temps and light winds.

Snowpack

Snowpack is very supportable overall. Settled powder on N-NE aspects near and below TL. Top 10-15cm is soft and cohesionless, but not prone to sluffing during ski testing. NW aspects have seen some NW winds and warm temps- some crustiness there. E aspects have gotten a little too much sun and have widespread MF crust. Widespread MF crust on S-W aspects- not consistently supportable. A little dust blew in with the last new snow the night of the 19th.

Avalanche

No observed recent avalanche activity. Low hazard near and below TL all aspects at this end of the SSJ. The same may be true above TL as no observed avalanche activity there is several weeks.
