Snowpack

Recent storm snow has settled to 6"-8" in most areas. New snow is largely stripped in exposed alpine areas, with lots of surface hard wind slab. Overall, new snow is bonding well to old snow. Older slabs below not reactive in areas we traveled. Only slides noted were shallow but long running sluffs in the new snow (east and northerly aspects above tl).
