Weather
Clouds increasing from the south. No wind below ridgeline.
Snowpack
Little to no snow again on southerly aspects. Northerly slopes, near treeline, have a snow depth of two to four inches. The snowpack in this area is an inch of depth hoar below 3 inches from the last storm that is faceting. You can find an odd pocket of deeper wind drifted snow up to 18 inches deep. Overall there is very little snow with many rocks and ground features showing. The snow that is on the ground is weak snow, but for this time of year there is a general lack of old storm snow that has faceted and a lack of any consistent weak layer across a slope.
