Weather

Obscured, snowing lightly close to the Divide, turning broken to the east. Gusty, swirly winds funneled by terrain at treeline and open areas below treeline. Above treeline, strong SW winds. Loading was moderate, only because fetches are starting to scour out.

Snowpack

4 to 6 inches of Monday night snow much lower density than Sunday-Monday snow. That dense snow has consolidated into a 4F to 1F slab 30 to 50 cm thick, that I never broke through on wide skis. Below is low density snow from Friday.
