Snowpack

Snowpack: About 8-10″ of settled storm snow, not showing signs of slabbiness except in most heavily wind affected areas, where we observed minor cracking in the new snow.

Avalanche

Avalanches: Got a brief window of vis into the southern Ruby Range. Observed a number of loose dry avalanches that look like they ran mid-storm, and one natural small soft slab (~20 feet wide, <12″ deep) on a NE aspect ATL. SS-N-R1-D1-I
