Mostly clear skies with minor pluming over the peaks.

Snowpack

Most fetches already blown clean. Cornices have broken/diminished considerably since January storms. Exposed ridges near treeline have also been scoured with to 9000 feet. Study plot snow depth has settled 8 inches since the end of January. Stout melt-freeze crusts (mostly supportable to boots) are present on sun exposed slopes below treeline.
