Weather

Clear blue skies and warm temperatures. Moderate to strong westerly winds but no snow snow available for transport.

Snowpack

Near and below treeline the surface freeze had deteriorated enough to see full depth collapsing by noon on easterly-facing slopes. Above treeline, winds kept the surface mostly supportive and only isolated collapses in thin rocky areas. I was unable to look at above treeline northerlies but could find evidence of water percolating through the entire snowpack can be found on all other elevations and aspects.

Avalanche

No fresh avalanches to be seen in any direction.
