As forecasted but minimal winds observed on E btl.

Snowpack

Near ridge line on E found a 1cm crust 70cm down with facets above which we reactive on hand pits, clean planar results on CT with medium force and propagated on medium force as well with ECT. Good layer to look for as it is easy to identify and with hand pits and pole plunges. As we descended below treeline we did not find this layer. Zipper crust on east and SE btl. NE still 15-30cm ski pen and soft.
