Observations
Generally stable conditions with roughly 30cm of HST near and above tree line. Minimal wind effect was encountered near ridge lines but no cracking was observed. Broken skies kept solars relatively cool in the AM until the sun started breaking through and warmed things up around around 14:00, which is when we observed shedding on solar trees and cliffs which entrained the recent storm snow.
