Weather

No wind loading on the Southerly slopes where I collected obs above the highway. Northerly slopes were actively loading.

Snowpack

5-8" HN with 49" snowdepth observed at the sheltered--and bushy--snow stake location. Snow depth on the generally blown out S facing slopes above the highway was about half that. ECTX observed in profile work with no slab structure observed. See profile. Very small wind / tree bomb triggered dry loose avalanches were observed above the highway and to the ditch
