Weather

Clear, calm.

Snowpack

Widespread, large whumphing, but no natural avalanches observed (except older one that had filled in during the last storm). Storm slab failing on facets beneath about 20" of new snow. Very little wind effect at treeline. Surprised to see no natural activity on Mt. Trelease, Citadel, and Dry Gulch area.

Avalanche

One older slab avalanche in wind-loaded area just below Mt. Trelease summit.
