Weather

Scattered, 5c, W: 10-15 G30, previous transport, precip: nil

Snowpack

Recent HS from winds 1/3-1/5 (G75) widespread, W and NW aspects largely stripped above TL, loads found even below TL. On S aspects >TL could not find the 12/13 MF layer-DID find it same elevation as soon as we dug on N aspects.

Avalanche

Most NE to E to SE zones above 35 degrees had midstorm size 1s with 4-10' debris at bottom. All crowns had mostly refilled with winds.
