Weather

On below treeline slopes: Very cold temps in valley bottom, but inversion kept it warm throughout the day.

Snowpack

Snow was supportive with soft snow at the top 15cm of the snowpack. Throughout the day solar radiation and warming had a slight affect on snow surface, with obvious signs of warming around 2. I would not be surprised if a crust is present tomorrow, after the surface warming today.
