Snowpack
6-8” of settled storm snow in this zone with drifted and leeward areas up to 14”. ATL mostly wind pressed but still made for fun and consistent turns. No cracking or collapsing. One SS-N-R2-D2 from yesterday or last night ATL east facing, just below ridgeline, pulled out a lower slab beneath. Also observed two mid storm soft slabs D1.5 from steep N/NE terrain off Gilpin Peak. These were mostly obscured but could just make out crown lines. Wet and heavy NTL + BTL in the afternoon with widespread roller balls off solars and several D1 wet loose.
