Weather

Warm, above freezing. High clouds helped with sun effect.

Snowpack

N aspects still held dry, good powder. East aspects were saturated and wet. ECTX and CT24 with a collapse but no propagation, at 55cm, the facet layer interface. Sheer was Q3. Upper pack felt good with strong bonding between new snow and old snow interface.

Avalanche

Saw multiple point releases off sun exposed rocks, and a small storm slab that looked a few days old.
