Traveling up the basin today it was interesting to see the changes that elevation and aspect had on the snow. The lower portions of broads fork had a thick melt freeze crust at the top. As we moved up the canyon the snow started to become better in quality on everything east facing. The westerly faces showed significant warming from the days before. There was a lot of wet loose avalanche and roller balls at the bottom of the west facing slopes. The wind was calm to light for most of the morning.
