Snowpit Observations
More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Protected northerly aspects in near treeline and below treeline terrain still have unconsolidated snow due to near surface faceting.  Southerly aspects with available snow were softening in the mid day.  Other aspects were a mix of wind scoured surfaces and crusts.  At noon just above 9000', air temp was 50 degrees with sunny skies and calm winds.  No signs of instabilities today from informal observations and snowpack tests.
