Snowpack

Approaching 2' of snow in the last 24 hours with 18" as of 5pm this evening. Much more snow than forecasted and still coming down. Lots of sluffing in the new snow in steep terrain but steep indicator slopes produced no results. At least where we were today we saw little evidence of the new snow slabbing up and certainly little propagation propensity. Got moderate (CT18) scores on the new/old interface with quick shears. Lots of v. hard windslab underneath this new stuff.
