Mt. Judah Observations

We made observations in the Mt Judah area today.  A good overnight refreeze occured in this area with a firm 6" surface melt freeze crust.  This melt freeze crust softened quickly on E aspects and provided good travel conditions between 10-11am, with good supportable snow.  After 11am continued softening of the snowpack did show some wet and deeper areas with less supportability.  Thin clouds early this morning mostly disappeared by mid morning providing a mostly sunny day with light winds.  Snow coverage continues to disappear on all aspects and elevations, but especially below 7500'.  Open creeks and running water can be seen and heard most everywhere.
