Weather

Clouds decreased throughout the morning with just a few odd clouds by 4 PM. Upslope had just enough depth to have clouds sneak through to the west side from the east at Hoosier and Boreas Pass this morning.

Snowpack

Weak freeze overnight...at 6 am snow temps were.... 30 cm = 0C 20 cm = -2C 10 cm = -4c Started to ski at 11 am. Snowpack barely supportable off the set track. Little to no structure left. Around 1 PM off the track you'd just crash through to ground.

Avalanche

4 wet avalanches since Saturday morning when I last looked here. Not sure what day they ran, but probably Sunday or Monday.
