Weather

Variable cloudiness- partly to mostly cloudy, temperatures in the 20s, and moderate SW winds. Little available snow for transport.

Snowpack

No signs of instability. Traveled on southerly facing slopes today. A surface melt-freeze crust exists on sunny slopes where the sun angle is mostly perpendicular to the slope angle. Elsewhere the snowpack remains solid with some near surface faceting developing.
