Weather

Skies broken most of the day, but lowering clouds obscured peaks to the south by midday. Some snow showers (S-1). Winds light with some moderate gusts.

Snowpack

For Green Mountain (Aka Big Ole Facety Mountain), surprisingly solid, even on foot. With some exceptions. Same general structure as elsewhere in zone: Softer near-surface snow, dense midpack slab, rounding FC and depth hoar near ground.

Avalanche

Old crowns, most already reported.
