Comments
Outstanding conditions all the way to summit. Top 30-40cm remained low density and unconsolidated. No noticeable wind effect top to bottom. A few hand sheers confirmed lack of windslab in storm snow, firm surface could be felt 30-50 down, less so above 2400m. -5 degrees and moderate west winds on summit. Clouds played a good role preserving the snow, expect this to change if full solar input in coming days.
