Weather

-2 degrees C at 12:35 when we dug a hasty pit; North facing at treeline

Snowpack

CT23 Q2 on Jan 30th interface 20 cm down from surface - this was at 11, 380ft at treeline on a north-facing slope. No other action on CT with 3 additional wailing hits taking it to 33. We saw four different parties drop into three different steep ATL start zones - no unexpected slides. E facing slope at TL had a thin (2-3 mm) melt/freeze crust.

Avalanche

None.
