Very windy the whole way up the ne side f Pass. Snow blowing from Quarry up. Swirling with the road drifting toward big slide (big slide was losing snow - at least low in path). Pluming from gondola and Aetna.

Snowpack

Few signs of new snow sluffing. Drifting and crossloadig evident in Quarry view (snow cover was thin with rocks and vegetation visible high in path at this location). Taco ridge and Big Slide cross-loaded from mid-slope. As was Crest Bowl, although ski tracks were still visible as you move north. Race track and south of pass had been trimmed with blower that morning, with no new snow sluffs visible. Snow cover ended at 4mile.
