Weather

Cool and clear. Gusty winds were blowing some snow around at the pass level, and Chair Mt. had a nice plume coming off of the summit.

Snowpack

16" storm total on the pass. The storm snow is still powdery and relatively unconsolidated. 3" of settlement within the storm snow in the past 24 hours.

Avalanche

Dozens of small sluffs had run in the steep terrain above the grade, but none made the road.
