Weather

HN/W; 4.5/0.3". Overcast skies, cold temps, and increasing SW winds. An additional 1.5" by 1330.

Snowpack

Significant wind loading on lee slopes with drifted accumulations of 1-2' or more. Ski tests produced shooting cracks and slab release with good propagation (N-NE-E near and below TL). Despite recent cold temps, sunny aspects have a MF crust that the new snow is only making a fair bond to. Windward slopes are scoured.
