Murphy Peak

Very wet/loose snow on solar aspects, but shaded aspects remained frozen all day. Light winds kept things cooler. Deep boot/ski penetration into wet snow We weren't able to initiate any wet-loose releases, nor did we observe any on south faces (Burgundy, Murphy) Two D1-2 wet-loose releases were observed on solar aspects cross-canyon (~SW, S) though, either today or yesterday. Conditions were more stable than expected... the snowpack likely needs another day or so to heat up. We were also surprised how cold/frozen conditions were on shady aspects.
