Snowing S-1 in Taylor Canyon; not snowing at the Taylor Park Reservoir. Significant warming trend to near freezing.

Snowpack

Very thin snowpack at 9,600' at Taylor Park Reservoir. Also visited the Cement Creek Trailhead at 9,000'. Both sites had less snow cover than downtown Crested Butte. Recent snow rests on a pronounced Thanksgiving crust, with 3-4mm depth hoar below. No slab development observed below treeline.
