Weather

OVC, max temp 31/23 deg. SW 5-15 g 20, S-1 off and on all day.

Snowpack

2/18 interface MFC on W aspects NTL are 2-4" thick and fairly soft. Party hats R had a 60-70 cm's 1F slab that was unreactive to large air blasts. There seems to be enough friction to keep everything in place there. Other terrain observed on W ATL showed evidence of natural activity during the storm as observed in the rest of our terrain. S aspects BTL the MFC crust is stout with a fist hard slab aprox 30-40 cm's thick and holding strong.

Avalanche

Only surface snow running on the 2/18 interface from large air blasts.
