Weather

Warm, mainly sunny but clouds would blow over. Hung out at the point waiting for snow to soften fully before skiing.

Snowpack

Pack is startinng on the road to isothermal. There were still layers and we experienced clean shears with the shovel shear test. However, with an isolated column there was no failure with a shovel compression test apart from the top 2 inches which slid off on cutting.
