Dynamic visibility- bluebird to ping pong ball white out.
Winds ranged from calm to 10-15. Saturday's tracks high on Observation peak were covered by wind transport by Sunday morning.
Temps were roasting in the sun, but still below freezing in the shade.
Observation: Juneau Mainland
Location: Lemon Glacier
Spent the weekend on Lemon Glacier.
Weather
Snow surface
Snow from Friday remained high quality skiing where it hadn't gotten scoured.
We did not explore sun-baked south facing aspects.
Snowpack
We did not observe snowpack instability.
We dug to 135cm on a NW aspect below Observation:
5cm of fluff on top of consistent windboard to the bottom of the pit
ECT13 broken on new snow 5 cm down, no results on the windboard below in ECT or CT.
We also dug to 110cm on a NE aspect below Cairn, finding more buried crusts here than on Observation but again, no propagating layers.

CT 13 @20cm on new snow interface
CT 26 @35cm on a pencil-hard crust
