Weather

Weather was mild, warm in the sun, cold in shade, very little wind.

Snowpack

Toured out Schuykill today, dug a few baseline pits below treeline on rollers below shook proper. Snowpack has seen significant settlement and faceting since last storm. No signs of instability. Dug a few pits no deeper than 50cm, saw sudden collapses on depth hoar near the ground on old October snow.

Avalanche

Observed faint crown lines on the lookers right side of Climax Chutes, but definitely faded and partially blown in.
