Weather

South side of Pumphouse basin on ridge due east of No Name Peak. Elevation 11,600 Clear skies with temps around 25-30 degrees F. Light wind on the ridge tops warmer temps lower down.

Snowpack

Wind scoured above treeline. Chalky slightly heavy powder below tree line. Solar aspects beginning to get sun affected. Colder in the shady aspects in the trees. I would expect surface hoar development in sheltered areas.

Avalanche

No Name Peak ENE R3 D2.5 PS N The slide trigger below the summit ridge of No Name. It ran fairly wide with a crown that looks 2-4’ deep.
