Weather

Light snow in the morning. Snow stopped around 11AM. Surprisingly calm conditions, warmish temperatures. Mostly obscured to overcast skies. At few brief moments when sun broke through, but this didn't last long.

Snowpack

Generally thin snowpack with lots of weak faceted snow. This includes depth hoar of various degrees of development and NSFs on most surfaces. Sun exposed slopes at lower elevations had a temperature crust 10-20cm down below the surface facets.
