Quick report

Another uninteresting day from an avalanche hunter perspective.  We found a decent refreeze last night, supportive travel through midday until we returned to valley floor this afternoon, and good stability.  The snowpack looks like mid-May out there, with creeks and bare slopes emerging, dusty snow, and sun-textured surfaces.  But there's still plenty of great corn riding, and wet avalanche activity has been quiet for several days.

Snowpack

Last night's refreeze was deeper thanks to clear skies - about 40cm below treeline.  Near and above treeline, the snowpack remained supportive and softened into nice corn skiing around 11:00 to 12:00 on SE aspects and 1:30 on SW aspects.  Pushing on past-prime wet grains didn't produce any meaningful sluffs.
