Weather

Overcast skies and snowing all day with light ridge top winds out of the southwest. No wind loading below tree line. Cold.

Snowpack

About 25 cm of new snow on top of loose and dry facets. I found buried crust on southeast aspects near tree line. I did not see any crust layers below tree line; the snowpack was loose and unsupportive.

Avalanche

No avalanches observed.
