Weather

Cool. Periods of sun mid day but mostly snowing lightly later in the afternoon. Winds were moderate out of the NW, with occasional gusts. Wind was enough to be felt below treeline in more open areas, though surface conditions remained soft.

Snowpack

HS 166cm on a N aspect, snowpack is just rounding the corner to a rounding regime. Recent winds have rearranged alpine snow but mostly near ridges, it appears.

Avalanche

No avalanches, cracking, collapses. Good skiing on steeper N aspects near and below TL.
