Snowpack

2-3" new snow overnight. Week's total 8-9". Any Northerly aspect with any sun exposure had 5cm sun crust. Northerly shaded areas showed decent bonding of week's snow to old. This week's snow was still fist- and about 20cm ski penetration. Nice skiing. Southerly: pockets of isothermic starting at 10,200; consistently isothermic below 9,500 by 4 pm.
