Weather

NW winds were loading NE aspects right along the divide.

Snowpack

Generally thin (less than 60cm) and faceted coverage, except for wind-loaded areas. Deeper snow was mostly limited to N-NE-E-SE aspects near and above treeline. We saw a few large cornices, but most wind-loaded slopes just had large wind pillows high in the start zones.
