Snowpack

30cm of storm snow fell on mostly bare ground and up to 30cm of depth hoar. In some previously wind-loaded areas, there are discontinuous slabs of harder snow up to 30cm thick sandwiched in between the new snow and weaker snow near the ground. Though fresh cornices and small wind-rolls have formed on east aspects, new wind slabs are still small and discontinuous.
