Weather

B-A-N-A-N-A-S, this weather is bananas!. Saw it all today with nothing consistent for more than half an hour at a time. Light to moderate snow showers, graupel showers, intense sunshine, a bit of green-housing after periods of sun when the wind wasn’t present, wind drifting small amounts of snow and an occasional winter-like feel when clouds snow and wind combined forces.

Snowpack

5? HST which settled quickly and became moist on all aspects below ~9800?. Due north stayed dry above that elevation. A few small wet loose avalanches including one skier-triggered were able to run on the previous day’s crust, which was smooth and slick.
