Weather

Very light snow showers, temps right at freezing, L-M winds from West with local variability.

Snowpack

Solar aspects below 12,000' have widespread crusts. Sheltered slopes still have cold snow that is not wind effected. Wind loading at ridgetops was evident.

Avalanche

Saw several small avalanches in steep terrain below the Citadel. Slopes were over 40 degrees in steepness and in complex terrain. They ran several hundred feet downslope until slope angles eased back. ATL NE to SE D1 slabs.
