High, hazy clouds on a decreasing trend. Mostly calm winds with a few light gusts at ridgetops. Quiet. Beautiful.

Snowpack

  • Low elevations and solars are melting. I underestimated by how much.
  • Melt-freeze crust on all aspects below 9500 ft. Thinner on north.
  • Under the crust: thin, faceted snowpack.
  • Snow depth on northerlies: from 50 cm down low to a meter at 9900 ft.
