Rain at the parking lot and 25cm by Sunday morning. Snow was very heavy and the snow line was around 1600m. Windy on exposed higher ridges. We stayed on terrain under 30 degrees and in dense trees. A lot of settlements, whumpfing, and cracking on all aspects but especially on the NE side. About 25cm of storm snow on top of a fragile crust and facets.
