Rode from Buttermilk to Lionhead Ridge to take down the weather station for the season. The snowpack was fully saturated and sloppy at lower elevations. By 8000 ft there was a firm crust with a couple inches of wet snow above it around noon. Winds were breezy at ridgetops, keeping the snowpack a bit cooler (but still getting wet). Ominous clouds moved in around 12:30 pm. We quickly left before getting rained on.
We saw no signs of recent avalanches.
