Sunny, temperature was about 30 degrees with almost no wind.

Snowpack

4 cm of newer, wetter snow on top of a hard 1 finger 10 cm melt freeze slab. Underneath was a weaker 4 finger layer of 20 cm of rounded grains, and underneath that was a larger 1 finger layer, roughly 30 cm slab. This slab broke Q1 with a SST, and was ECTP24. The upper slab broke with our ECT, at ECTP 16.
