Weather
Clear skies, moderate western wind near and below treeline growing to strong above treeline, temps near freezing
Snowpack
Almost entirely faceted snowpack. West and south facing slopes were mostly dry or patchy snow coverage due to wind and solar effects. North to East facing BTL to NTL slopes contained 6-18" of snow. In a few spots (especially as you creep towards a South facing aspect) you could find evidence of an old temperature crust, however the cold temps have cause this layer to mostly facet away. I only found one spot where I couldn't punch through it while skinning. In exposed areas I found a wind board layer that wasn't very uniform, often only lasting a few feet in length before disappearing into facets and topped with surface facets. BTL these wind boards were generally small and unsupportable while near treeline they were occasionally thicker and supportable. Above treeline the snow was concentrated below ridgelines and in cross loaded gully features
