Weather

Scattered clouds becoming overcast. Mostly calm. Air temp of -8.0°C @ 13:00.

Snowpack

HS ranged 90-120cm. HST 8cm. Ski pen 10cm. Variable snowpack w/ isolated areas of mostly weak faceted snow. In other areas we found stacks older and recent wind loading forming stiffer slabs. Still many areas with weak facets near the ground. Recent wind event was evident in valley bottom. Ski quality was great. Supportive, soft, and fast. No cracking or collapsing.
