Weather

As forecast. Winds were more S'ly than W'ly.

Snowpack

Near and above, sustrugi and mostly bullet proof. Summit bowl was hollow and drummy, so we avoided it. Lower East bowl looked to plump and waiting for a trigger. We had Christmas dinner plans that we did not want to miss so we avoided it too. Below treeline, the snow is mostly weak snow with very little slab present.
