Comments

With the warming temperatures on Saturday night it was very warm at treeline. We found 40-60cm of snow in open meadows, and 1.0-1.2m of snow in treed catches.

One natural avalanche, likely 48+ hours old. Hit the lake and debris caused settling of lake ice.

Alpine slopes appeared thin and scoured on almost all aspects
