An additional 5” overnight (.2” SWE), bringing storm totals at 10k to 16” (.9” SWE). Right side-up snow this morning. No signs of windslab development. Plenty of solar today settled the powder to mash potatoes, despite cold temps. Snow became moist to wet on all slopes E to S to W at all elevations. Lots of wet loose activity late morning into the afternoon, skier triggered sluffs on all slopes steeper than 35° down to the crust after it became moist. Some naturals as well. D1’s to D2’s. All elevations on E through S through W aspects.
