Lots of snow moving near and above treeline.

Snowpack

Strong NW wind continue to load leeward slopes. Cohesive slabs were developing predominately on E-SE-E aspects. Aspects that face direct NW were getting stripped near ridgeline. For looking down Nevada basin, it seemed even windward slopes were developing a small slab on the surface as winds accelerated up the slope. Winds kept snow on slopes that are normally affected by the sun cold.
