Quick report

New snow appeared to be bonding well to the old interface. Steep south aspects had a significant breakable crust. Did not get much solar input during the day (high clouds in the morning). The northern side of Ptarmigan ridge experienced strong southerly winds that consistently transported snow. We saw the formation of new wind slabs (1-10cm thick). Snow and clouds rolled in early afternoon. ~5cm by the time we finished at 4pm

Avalanche

Saw avalanches well documented by previous observations. Did not see any new avalanches
