Weather

We were in a nice little snow storm. A few inches fell while we were out. We stayed below treeline so did not get into the higher winds.

Snowpack

We stayed exclusively on the bed surfaces of recent avalanches. Where we could step out on snow that hadn't slid it immediately collapsed and cracked. Its very reactive still and I wouldn't feel comfortable on any N, NE, NW slope over 30 degrees right now.
