Not much to report. The snow surface continues to weaken but the pack is pretty relaxed right now. Newly formed wind slabs in open terrain will be something to keep an eye out for. Winds slabs were easy to get to slide on the faceted snow they were lying on but they were pretty shallow and benign where I was traveling.

Snowpack

About an inch of snow from Monday, with half of it being graupel. Crusts on solar aspects did not soften during the day. One finger hard wind crusts on west facing slopes exposed to the wind. Widespread faceting of the snowpack.
