Weather

Mostly clear skies with a few afternoon clouds moving in. Temperatures reached 32F and above at Pass level, but cooler temps prevailed on the Divide with the moderate SW winds (gusts 30-40 mph). Little to no snow available for any wind loading. Surface faceting is common, but not really widespread.

Snowpack

No signs of instability. New snow from early in the week, warm temperatures, and some strong southwest winds have left a mixed bag of surface conditions: Wind affected north aspects (even below treeline) and crusty south and west aspects. East aspects are a mix of each.

Avalanche

No recent observed avalanche activity.
