Weather

38F at trailhead at 4am. 58F at trailhead at 10:40am. Moderate SW winds at summit with small amount of wind drifting.

Snowpack

Snowpack mostly frozen melt-freeze except for east aspects at lower elevations. North up high still felt wintry but has been wind hammered and some sun effect. Most recent wind slabs were built up on south and east aspects - small. Probed north aspect around 12k’ - 330cm snow, mostly right side up and difficult to distinguish Jan/feb facets in mid pack. No collapses. Minor cracking in wind effected snow up high.

Avalanche

No new avalanches seen. Good visibility.
