Weather

Weather: Spring-like temperatures. Moderate to strong winds once we emerged above treeline, with periods of strong wind transport. Mostly to partly cloudy skies.

Snowpack

Snowpack: Snow surfaces got moist on below treeline southerlies. Easy to produce cracking in wind drifted features, about a foot thick.

Avalanche

Avalanches: Fresh-looking persistent slab in Evans Basin, likely ran today, on a SE aspect ATL, D2. A few small wind slabs above treeline ran today. Also some loose dry and loose wet sluffing.
