Weather

Cool and sunny with brisk north wind.

Snowpack

New snow fell on a very settled snowpack and generally seems to have bonded well to the old snow surface. Very little slide activity of any sort today- cool temps keeping things in check. Very cool for mid April!!! Lots of drifting and sculpting of the snow surface from recent winds. Drifts up to 3' deep, but average new snow depth was ~12".
