Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions:

We did a tour to Relay Peak and dug pits on all 4 aspects during the tour. We found well consolidated snow (or bare ground) on the south aspect, mild faceting on the west aspect, faceting with a crust on the east aspect, and more faceting on the north aspects. Although the faceted sugar like snow was widespread it would clump up somewhat when grabbed. Perhaps the last few warm days have rounded it a bit.
