Porter Fork-Gobblers Knob-Porter Fork
Elevations, slope angles and aspects
6200-10k, angles over 35°, north and west facing aspects
Snow conditions
Settled snow.
Daytime heating quickly loosened new snow
on exposed aspects.
Slides appeared to be limited shallow new snow point releases from my viewpoints.
By afternoon, heating had wrapped to the shady side.
Weather
Clear and sunny skies, warming temperatures and light wind.
Evaluation
Snow remains stable other than the predictable wet activity.
Weather guessers suggest more on the way so, future instability would be dependent on bonding of new to old and drifting.
