Snowpack

West slopes blown mostly clear of snow n+atl. Syncline hill showing many dirt patches with minimal snow cover. Quarry View has very thin snow cover and water running across road from it's base indicates snowpack loosing water. Big Slide beginning to lose volume close to road. South banks on west side of highway bare of snow. Average HS in Crest bowl 100cm. Moderate amount of skier traffic in the bowl itself. Mostly supportable surface crust.
