Quick report

Heard a loud rumbling in the distance at 10:23 am while at Artist Point. Sounded like it came from the direction of Mt Herman but hard to be sure. Many open glide cracks, especially around Table Mountain. Quite a bit of refrozen wet/glide avalanche debris on the south side of Table Mountain from a prior cycle.

Plenty of solar input today but minimal warming due to cold temps. Calm with a few light gusts.

Snowpack

1-3 inches of low density snow over a supportive crust. Signs of wind effect were visible in exposed terrain, although there was not enough snow to form a slab where we traveled.
