Weather

WEATHER: similar to what Donny wrote in his ob, but there was a short period of significant S3 snowfall that accumulated enough to cover the old snow surface.

Snowpack

SNOWPACK/AVALANCHE OBS: Solid MF crust found on westerly aspects. Mostly all faceted snowpack found on northerly aspects with no slab evident, and on terrain steeper then 35*, facet sluffing to the ground was evident but slow, and not far running.
