Weather station takedown

Activity
Snowmobiling

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.
