Weather

Warm, sunny, and calm to no wind throughout the day

Snowpack

Found fairly widespread surface hoar on most of the tour. Also noticed the ice layer about 15cm from ground on most of the SW-NW aspects that we toured on from about 10,500ft to 11,500ft. We found mostly soft surface conditions besides the sun crust developing on the more Southerly slopes.

Avalanche

Noticed old point release on west aspect around 11,200ft.
