Weather

Snowfall picked up from around 1pm on with rates in the S-2/3 range (1" per hour). Winds were mostly out of the east but were a bit swirly at higher elevations. In the brief time I was out, there was around 2-3" of new accumulation.

Snowpack

Not much to add other than the new snow came in warm and was bonding well to old snow surfaces. Traveling on mostly southerly aspects, there is a small crust below the new snow in areas hit by sun yesterday, but shouldn't really be a problem.

Avalanche

None observed.
