Avalanches:
Weather: Partly cloudy with building clouds throughout the day. It was warm below tree line. Once in the alpine the wind raged, my face still hurts. Temps were super warm 35-40 at the trail head and it was cold up high.
Snowpack: The wind kept the snow surface hard in the alpine. Once at tree line the snow softness up and was creamy to slush down low. I saw no signs of instability.
Skiing low was still good due to warming. Top was not ideal but was not breakable, just hard pack skiing
